Grant, being genuinely giving isn't just icing on the cake — it's why there's a cake at all. In his recent book, "Give and Take" (which is, naturally, a New York Times and Wall Street Journal best-seller), Grant compiles his and others' organizational psychology research on work motivation, pro-social behaviors, leadership and more, and sprinkles in stories of successful businesspeople and organizations, to make a compelling case that you don't have to be ruthless to get ahead at work. Instead, he says, techniques such as doing "five-minute favors" for others and reconnecting with loose acquaintances can reap long-term career rewards.

Why is this idea that the good guy can win so revolutionary?
I'm joining a long line of people who have said that giving is better than getting, but what's new about my book is that it's putting a science behind karma. There are a lot of people who believe that what goes around comes around, but we don't really know how and why that works, or more importantly, when that works — because sometimes what goes around doesn't come around. I find that if you want the good guys to win, it requires thoughtful strategies and a set of supportive conditions

In your book, you group workers into three categories: The givers, the takers and the matchers. What does each of them look like?
The takers are the people who are trying to get as much as possible from others, and typically they don't want to give much back. The givers on the other end of the spectrum are the people who enjoy helping others and often do it without strings attached. The matchers are the people who fall in the middle, who try to maintain an even balance of give and take.
