Dear reader,
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. Best would be to get your candid peer friend fill it for you.
Warm regards,
Rohan
