Why You Need a Culture of Giving at Work

Written By Michele Dye

Have you ever had a coworker that was so needy you found yourself spending too much time helping them and not enough time doing your own work?

Organizational psychologist and Wharton professor Adam Grant breaks down the three basic kinds of people in the workplace: givers, takers and matchers.

Being able to identify these personality traits among your coworkers will help you become more effective at work, whether you are a team leader, hiring manager or team member.

In this TED Talk, Grant offers simple strategies to promote a culture of generosity and keep self-serving employees from taking more than their share.
