It is an appropriate time of the year to consider the benefits of giving and receiving. In the business world, though, it is about trading knowledge rather than tangible gifts. Many people would be surprised if they knew how freely business leaders share expertise and experiences with other leaders. In my experience, most leaders have a genuine desire to share with, as well as learn from, others. They have learned the wisdom of being both a teacher and student – to humbly share and excitedly learn.
So, let the exchanging begin because to both the givers and receivers belong the gain!
