Matchers seek reciprocity in relationships from "summary" of Give and Take by Adam Grant
In relationships, Matchers seek reciprocity. They operate on the principle of fairness, believing that what goes around should come around. Matchers are careful to keep a balance sheet, ensuring that every favor they give is met with a favor in return. They strive to avoid being taken advantage of, always looking for a fair exchange in their interactions with others. Unlike Givers who are generous without expecting anything in return or Takers who aim to get as much as possible from others, Matchers believe in equal give-and-take. They are willing to help others, but only if they receive help in return. This approach allows Matchers to build relationships based on mutual benefit, where both parties contribute and receive in equal measure. Matchers are strategic in their relationships, carefully weighing the costs and benefits of each interaction. They are conscious of the give-and-take dynamic, making sure that they are not being taken advantage of.
