Understanding the Archetypes: Givers, Takers, and Matchers

Adam Grant's book, Give and Take, explores the different behavior archetypes in the workplace: givers, takers, and matches. Givers are others-focused, providing support and assistance without expecting anything in return. Takers are self-serving, focused on what they can gain from others. Matchers aim for a fair exchange of effort and resources. Grant emphasizes the importance of understanding these archetypes and evaluating our own giving styles.
