Leaders ask for help, no matter how accomplished they are (159)
We are not meant to know and do everything
A great sign of leadership maturity and humility is knowing our own limitations
Creating that magic team starts by reaching out for others to help
How do we get the help needed
1. Leaders create a worthwhile vision that draws curiosity
If people are to get involved, they need to see something worth contributing to
In many ways, when we create a big enough vision, people will help us because it helps their own sense of purpose
2. Leaders articulate different opportunities that need a solution
When we ask for help, don’t be vague
Be clear about the problem
Be open to all sorts of solutions
Don’t be condescending when people don’t agree with you
Continue to reevaluate, continue to restate the problem, continue to ask for help
3. Leaders recognise that the problem is always an opportunity to build teams
Leaders are as focused on building people as they are on resolving problems
Once leaders have the right team, they go out and look for bigger problems
Asking for help isn’t a weakness, it’s a calling card to draw those that want to make a difference collectively
