Go ahead. Ask for help.

Go ahead. Ask for help.

In July 2008, the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology shared the outcome of a series of studies on individuals asking for help.  The results were that people underestimate by as much as 50% the likelihood that others would agree to a direct request for help.

American researcher on relationships & personal growth, Barbara De Angelis, writes that part of living with integrity means, "...Asking for what you want and need from others..."

Is it possible that a project has yet to come to completion due to the need for assistance?

Team Exercise:

  • "Why do we often choose to not ask for help from co-workers?"
  • "How often do you find yourself needing help? Monthly? Daily? Weekly?"
  • "Will you consider asking for help today?"
