Increasing recognition and visibility of givers

Increasing recognition and visibility of givers: importance of employers rewarding success to givers not takers.

Extract from strategy+business – Adam Grant:

In the old world of work, good guys finished last. “Takers” (those in organizations who put their own interests first) were able to climb to the top of hierarchies and achieve success on the shoulders of “givers” (those who prefer to contribute more than they receive). Throughout much of the 20th century, many organizations were made up of independent silos, where takers could exploit givers without suffering substantial consequences.
