About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
As you read this summary, you will learn how some styles of reciprocity are detrimental to professional relationships and, conversely, how others promote them. You will understand why donors are generally better able to develop their careers.
You will also discover that :
- there are three types of reciprocity: give, exchange, take;
- success involves a significant factor: one's attitude and the way one interacts with others;
- those who succeed best professionally but also those who succeed the least are donors. There are two types of donors;
- the donor's style of reciprocity often pays off in the long run because he or she gains confidence over time;
- takers can be unmasked;
- having interpersonal skills facilitates the building of a useful network.
It is common to attribute professional success to a career-minded individual who strongly dominates his or her colleagues. However, manipulation and violence are not necessary to be promoted to an interesting position. On the contrary, individuals often function as exchangers and do not appreciate being exploited for the exclusive benefit of someone other than themselves. Taking the needs of others into consideration makes it possible to move forward while remaining productive. Acting with generosity is even likely to increase one's potential for success.
