Recently I referred to the column by Naomi Karten. Her column states: ” Many people think asking for help is a sign of weakness. They’re wrong, though. Asking for help is actually a sign of strength, an indication that you’re willing to admit you can’t know everything and do everything yourself.”
My latest column for Bits & Chips magazine deals with asking for help since it enables us to tackle problems earlier and easier. In order to do so you need to have a good social climate in your team. A question for help should not be received with boo and bah’s. It’s not about individuals that need to know-all, the real goal is that you perform as a team. You can read it here…
Cannot agree more. Lots of mash ups can be prevented if people admit more often that they just don’t know.
