Are you a giver or a taker? | Behavioral psychologist Adam Grant on personality dynamics and how to hire a winning team

Have you ever wondered how the most successful companies make
their hires? Or what makes for a winning team? Have you ever
wanted to know just what characteristics distinguish the most
innovative entrepreneurs? Or what makes someone truly original?


In this episode of the Tony Robbins Podcast, we sit down with
renowned organizational psychologist, Adam Grant to discuss
personality dynamics, motivation and meaning, and what that all
means for you and your business.


Adam has been Wharton’s top-rated professor for five straight
years. He has been recognized as one of the world’s 25 most
influential management thinkers and Fortune’s 40 under 40.


He is the author of two New York Times bestselling books
translated into 35 languages, and has recently co-authored a new
book with Sheryl Sandberg called Option B - about facing
adversity, building resilience and finding joy. And he writes on
work and psychology for the New York Times.


Adam’s TED talks on original thinkers and givers and takers have
been viewed more than 8 million times. And his speaking and
consulting clients include Facebook, Google, the NBA, Merck,
Goldman Sachs, Pixar, the U.S. Army and Navy, and the World
Economic Forum, where he has been honored as a Young Global
Leader.


In this episode, host Ana Yoerg talks with Adam about just how
businesses can get the most out of their employees, and how
employees can get the most out of their jobs. They dig into the
personality dynamics of givers and takers, innovators and
original thinkers. And they discuss why it’s so important to not
just meet customer expectations, but to always exceed them.
