От производителя О чем эта книга Это чрезвычайно проницательная и увлекательная книга о том, что же такое успех в современном мире. Считается, что успеха достигают трудолюбивые, энергичные и талантливые. Но так бывает далеко не всегда. Часто не учитывается еще один фактор - то, как мы взаимодействуем с другими людьми. Ожидаем ли мы награды за оказанную помощь или просто помогаем, не заботясь, что получим взамен? Основываясь на серьезных социологических исследованиях, Адам Грант доказал существенное влияние стилей взаимодействия на достижение успеха. Оказывается, большинство людей проявляют себя как берущие - для них личная выгода стоит на первом месте, получать они любят больше, чем отдавать. Другие - обмениващие - выстраивают отношения на основе взаимовыгоды "ты - мне, я - тебе". И последний тип - дающие - готовые помогать другим в ущерб собственным интересам, не ожидая никаких наград. Таких меньшинство, но именно они достигают самой вершины успеха вне зависимости от отрасли и вида бизнеса. Для кого эта книга Для всех, кто хочет узнать, что такое успех в современном мире.

"David Marquet is the kind of leader who comes around only once in a generation ... his ideas and lessons are invaluable" — Simon Sinek, author of Start With Why Captain David Marquet was used to giving orders. In the high-stress environment of the USS Santa Fe, a nuclear-powered submarine, it was crucial his men did their job well. But the ship was dogged by poor morale, poor performance and the worst retention in the fleet. One day, Marquet unknowingly gave an impossible order, and his crew tried to follow it anyway. He realized he was leading in a culture of followers, and they were all in danger unless they fundamentally changed the way they did things. Marquet took matters into his own hands and pushed for leadership at every level. Before long, his crew became fully engaged and the Santa Fe skyrocketed from worst to first in the fleet. No matter your business or position, you can apply Marquet's approach to create a workplace where everyone takes responsibility for their actions, people are healthier and happier — and everyone is a leader.
