Are you a giver, or a taker? We are finally hiring new employees where I work. I enjoy being able to help new employees.
But, wait! Research is showing that being a giver may not be the best style of behavior, if one wants to be a "success."
Across occupations, it appears that givers are just too caring, too trusting, and too willing to sacrifice their own interests for the benefit of others. There’s even evidence that compared with takers, on average, givers earn 14 percent less money, have twice the risk of becoming victims of crimes, and are judged as 22 percent less powerful and dominant.
But, wait again!
The worst performers and the best performers are givers; takers and matchers are more likely to land in the middle.
