Matchers can find ways to give back while maintaining balance from "summary" of Give and Take by Adam Grant

In the world of giving, Matchers are the ones who strive for balance. They neither give too much nor too little; instead, they aim to find ways to contribute while ensuring that their own needs are met. Matchers understand the importance of reciprocity, believing that it is essential to give back in order to maintain equilibrium in relationships. Unlike Givers, who may sometimes sacrifice their own well-being for the sake of others, Matchers are more strategic in their giving approach. They recognize that in order to continue helping others, they must also take care of themselves. This mindset allows Matchers to sustain their giving behaviors over the long term without experiencing burnout or resentment. While Matchers prioritize balance, this does not mean that they are selfish or unwilling to help others. On the contrary, Matchers are generous and willing to lend a hand when needed. However, they do so in a way that aligns with their own values and boundaries, ensuring that they do not overextend themselves or compromise their own well-being. By finding ways to give back while maintaining balance, Matchers are able to make a meaningful impact on the world without sacrificing their own needs. This approach allows them to sustain their giving behaviors over time, fostering more positive and fulfilling relationships with those around them.
  1. Matchers understand that in order to be effective givers, they must first take care of themselves. By finding a balance between giving and receiving, Matchers can make a lasting impact on the world while also ensuring their own well-being. This approach not only benefits the Matcher but also those around them, creating a positive cycle of generosity and reciprocity.
