Why ask for their help?"
Four of the most powerful words in the English language are "I need your help."
Asking for assistance is a great way to fix performance problems. It’s a sign of strength, not weakness.
Effective leaders realize two things:
1. They don’t have all the answers.
2. They benefit in the long run from asking for help from the people around them.
You’ll build commitment by asking more than telling. By asking for people’s input and help, you gain the cooperation you need to build high performance. And, you demonstrate that you value others’ opinions - a good way to enhance their self-esteem.
More importantly, you’re likely to end up with a better solution than you would by proceeding on your own with no input. Besides that, people support solutions that they feel they had a say in developing.
