How to handle a Selfish Taker
Recently I read an article by Adam Grant: How to Change a Selfish Person's Stripes?
This article talks about Selfish Takers we meet in various areas of our life, especially at work. People who want more, more & more for me, me & me.
He shares some simple practical ways to handle and turn around such people.
How does one know whether he/she is also behaving like a selfish taker? This article had a link to a self-assessment questionnaire, whose title you may find controversial: A**hole rating self exam!!!
As I attempted this 24-question survey, I found it to be an effective way to self-realization. I bought the book by the same author to know more. “The No A**hole Rule” by Bob Sutton is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today and Business Week bestseller.
I invite you to fill this survey first for a person who you find it very difficult to relate to. And maybe for yourself as well to gain some useful insights.
