For this round, we pose questions to University of Pennsylvania Wharton School organizational psychologist Adam Grant, author of Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success. Grant interlaces research and stories to propose a new approach to success. He argues that what shapes our achievements is how we engage in social interactions. People are either “givers” or “takers,” he argues—and the givers are more successful in everything they do.
