A colleague asks you for feedback on a report. A LinkedIn connection requests an introduction to one of your key contacts. A recent graduate would like an informational interview.

Grant recently spoke with Knowledge at Wharton about his findings, which are explored in his new book, Give and Take: A Revolutionary Approach to Success. (Video with transcript)
