Principle Centred Leadership

For generations, we have focused on the individual drivers of success: passion, hard work, talent, and luck. But in today’s dramatically reconfigured world, success is increasingly dependent on how we interact with others. Adam Grant, Wharton’s highest-rated professor and a writer whom Malcolm Gladwell describes as “one of my academic heroes,” examines whether giving is the secret to getting ahead. GIVE AND TAKE was named one of the best books of the year by Amazon, Apple, the Wall Street Journal, and the Financial Times – as well as one of O, The Oprah Magazine’s riveting reads, Fortune’s must-read business books, Forbe’s most dynamic social innovation initiatives of the year, and the Washington Post’s books every leader should read.

What does it take to succeed in business and to inspire others? In the corner office, Adam Bryant of the New York times sits down with more than seventy CEOs and asks them how they do their jobs, drawing out the most important lesson they learned as they rose through the ranks. Bryant reveals the keys to success in the business world, including the five qualities that CEOs value most in employees.
