How to Get Help


I love this image - it's hits the right chord - how do you get help?
Ask for it!
Asking for help is not as sign of weakness, it is a sign that you know what you know & what you don't.

Asking for help is a sign of self-awareness.
Asking for help is courageous.
Asking for help is a sign of confidence - that you want to learn more from others around you.
Asking for help means you don't want to let the team down - you want to make sure you can hit the mark/deadline/cost line etc.

Don't wait until you are drowning in papers like this guy.
Don't wait until you are down to the last minute.
Don't wait until you are completely stuck.

Help can be as simple as asking for some advice, bouncing ideas around, considering options with someone else, clarifying expectations & even delegating what is not your strength.

It's okay.  Go ahead.  Ask for help.

Even leaders ask for help when they need it & even when they don't.  By surrounding themselves with great team members...members who fill in their weaker spots.....who are experts in areas in which they are not....they are in effect, asking for help.

It's okay.  Go ahead.  Ask for help.
