Ten Business Reasons Why Asking for Help WorksWritten by Martin Haworth
Continued from page 1
Vulnerability is AttractiveEver stopped to help an injured animal; or sooth a crying baby? How compelling was that vulnerability? When you need and ask for help, you are a much more interesting proposition. Your people will love you for it! Their Confidence BuildsAs you take on board support and help others give you, their ideas translate into brilliant solutions to problems. By acknowledging help you have been given and real, better solutions they have shared, they will become much more confident - and a lack of confidence holds whole world back. Two Heads are Better than OneBetter solutions to issues comes from collaboration. "I need your help" may well not be confined to a one to one relationship. By requesting help from your whole team, you can leverage that whole relationship. But take care not to dilute effect by blandly using this excellent tool - churning it out without real meaning. One to one works best - because intimate, close and appealing requests work best. You Stimulate DialogueAs you have done asking, you encourage others to 'coach' you! How cool is that - coach being coached! Yet, this dialogue is full of incredible richness. In fact someone once wrote, "Business is just a series of conversations" - what a wonderful start to yours! Try it next time you need some help. Start small, with little challenges you have and build your and their confidence. Watch out for massive changes you see in your relationships with others.
