March 31, 2013 - Is Giving the Secret to Getting Ahead? - by SUSAN DOMINUS
Grant’s book, incorporating several decades of social-science research on reciprocity, divides the world into three categories: givers, matchers and takers. Givers give without expectation of immediate gain; they never seem too busy to help, share credit actively and mentor generously. Matchers go through life with a master chit list in mind, giving when they can see how they will get something of equal value back and to people who they think can help them. And takers seek to come out ahead in every exchange; they manage up and are defensive about their turf. Most people surveyed fall into the matcher category — but givers, Grant says, are overrepresented at both ends of the spectrum of success: they are the doormats who go nowhere or burn out, and they are the stars whose giving motivates them or distinguishes them as leaders. Much of Grant’s book sets out to establish the difference between the givers who are exploited and those who end up as models of achievement. The most successful givers, Grant explains, are those who rate high in concern for others but also in self-interest. And they are strategic in their giving — they give to other givers and matchers, so that their work has the maximum desired effect; they are cautious about giving to takers; they give in ways that reinforce their social ties; and they consolidate their giving into chunks, so that the impact is intense enough to be gratifying.

In the final analysis, the critical success factor here boils down to a corporate culture of openness, as it’s masterfully explained in Charlene’s new book — “Open Leadership”.

Book Review Charlene Li’s New Book: Open Leadership « David's Journal on Tap
One of the things I love reading about is seeing real life examples of how people and organisations are making these things happen. In this book Charlene has collected some great collateral and case studies from companies such as Cisco, Best Buy, The Red Cross and The State Bank of India. As society becomes more adept at using social media it is inevitable that Leaders must become open with their employees, clients and partners.
Review of ‘Open Leadership’: Winning by letting go | Socialmedia.biz
That businesses require its executives to adopt an “open leadership” style of management in place of the command-and-control paradigm in place at most large companies. “Face it — you’re not in control and probably never really were,” she writes. “You need to let go of the need to be in control.” As she explains, you aren’t really giving up control — “you are shifting it to someone else that you have confidence in.”

Open Leadership + Enterprise 2.0: the practices that can make them real
Open Leadership - or Leadership 2.0 - could be the catalyst for positive changes that workplace visionaries have long dreamed of. But to break through everyday organisational inertia there is a key ingredient that is still missing: ongoing practices in organisational awareness and reframing that can undo the cycles of defensive behaviour that even smart and well-meaning people create in their workplaces. (by Matthew Mezey)
Should you buy into "Open Leadership"? by Josh Bernoff
From our very close work together, I know Charlene's mind and ways of thinking extremely well. Now, of course, we compete for the attention of clients thinking about social strategy, which complicates our relationship. Plus, I am the coauthor of Empowered, coming out in September, a book that bears on many of the same topics as Open Leadership.
