Podcast Excerpt: All my life I have known in a vague way that getting money is the result of earning it, but I have never had a perfect vision of that fact till recently. If I give to anybody service of a kind that they want, I shall get back the benefit myself. If I give more service, I shall get more benefit. If I give a great deal more, I shall get a great deal more. I shall get back more than I give.
If I give more to my employer than they expect of me, they will give me a raise, and on no other condition. What is more, their giving me a raise does not depend on my employer’s fair-mindedness. They have to give it to me or lose me, because if they do not appreciate me, somebody else will.
But this is only part of it. If I give help to the co-worker whose desk is next to mine, it will come back to me multiplied, even if they are apparently a rival. What I give to them, I give to the firm, and the firm will value it, because it is teamwork in the organization that the firm primarily wants, not brilliant individual performance.
