Are you a giver or a taker?
I saw a Ted Talk named "Are you a giver or a taker?" By Adam Grant.
In the video, he talks about the givers, the people that think in what I can do to help you, and the takers, the people that think what can you do to help me. And then, there is a third group of person that think I help you if you help me.
In the video, he says that the people who are givers have the worst results as students or workers because they are always helping other people and not to do their own works. However, the companies where are most givers have better profits, because the givers help other people to achieve their goals.
So, the companies have to:
1) Find who are their giver workers and protect them for taker worker.
2) Remove taker worker.
3) Encourage help-seeking.
The main difficulty is to recognize the taker worker, because these people use to be very polite and kind, and ugly persons do not have to be takers although they look like it.
I recommended to see this video, I liked a lot.
Thanks!

So, the companies have to:
1) Find out who are their giver workers and protect them for taker workers.
2) Remove taker worker.
3) Encourage help-seeking.
