Perhaps gaining power doesn't cause people to act like takers. It simply creates the opportunity for people who think like takers to express themselves.

I don't like people who are just takers.

Takers are self-serving in their interactions. It's all about what can you do for me.

If you want to be a generous giver, you have to watch out for selfish takers.

Takers believe in a zero-sum world, and they end up creating one where bosses, colleagues and clients don't trust them. Givers build deeper and broader relationships - people are rooting for them instead of gunning for them.

I just think people should be able to express themselves.
