Give and Take: Why Helping Others Drives Our Success by Adam Grant Book
Based on the material in the book “Give and Take”, please respond to the following questions
Question (1): Consider the general leadership approach that Grant depicts throughout the book. First, describe
what you believe are key characteristics of this type of leadership. Then, compare and contrast the leadership
behaviors Grant depicts in this book with other leadership styles (e.g., transactional, charismatic, servant, or
transformational).
Question (2): Consider “otherish” behavior that Grant describes in his book and outlines existing research that
shows the value of giving. Provide a critique of “otherish” behavior as outlined in this chapter. In your critique
outline how you agree and disagree with aspects of this behavior. Also, identify how you can incorporate
“otherish” behavior in order to add value in your current or future job role.
Question (3): Read Grant’s “Actions for Impact” at the end of the book. Select one of the practical actions he
describes and imagine the various ways you can apply it in your current or future role. If you have already done
something similar, please explain the practical action and the situation in which you apply it.
