9 Good Reasons Why Highly Successful Executives Ask for Help

If you have confidence, think independently, and have advanced your career, it wouldn’t be surprising to discover that you pride yourself on your accomplishments.

Predictably, the better you are at your job, the more people will expect from you. However, there is a limit to how much you do, however hard you work.

Do you wonder how some highly successful executives find a way around this limitation?

They ask for help.

Whether we like it or not, all of us could benefit from time to time by accepting a hand from another human being. Not only that, but when you ask for assistance, other people also stand to benefit in ways you might not have considered.

Contemplate these reasons why you may want to ask someone to help you more often, even if you find it challenging:

1.????You accomplish the goal you’re after. If you have a goal you want to achieve and you can accomplish it with a bit of help, then ask for and accept assistance. That includes hiring outside expertise or manpower which can accelerate your business.

2.????You show that you’re human. If you’re full of confidence and seem to always do everything right, people can easily put you on a pedestal. However, when you request aid from others, they realize that even someone like you relies on and values others. This can be really inspirational.

3.????You set an effective example. When your coworkers, friends, and family face a challenge, they’ll think, “Jeff didn’t hesitate to seek out some extra help right away whenever he needed it and that’s so smart. I’m going to do it, too.” Then, you get the opportunity to be helpful to them, too!

If you request a hand as soon as you recognize you’re going to need it, you help to de-stigmatize the whole idea of getting help.

4.????You give others a chance to help you. Most people feel very good about themselves when they are able to extend assistance to others. You’re allowing others to feel those rewarding emotions whenever you request a hand from them.

5.????The level of stress you’re experiencing will drop. It can be very stressful when something goes wrong. Anxieties and worries develop and persist. The longer you worry about the situation, the worse you feel. Getting help means you can avoid all that distress.

6.????You develop a true appreciation for others. You’ll love seeing concrete proof that others want to see you be successful.

7.????You enhance your relationships. When you request aid from a friend, relative, or coworker, that person feels more connected to you. After all, if you feel comfortable enough to reach out for help, that’s quite a compliment to the other person. Plus, when the person comes to your aid, you’ll recognize how much that person really cares about you.

8.????Reciprocation feels great. Doing something as a gesture of thanks to the person who helped you will foster more trust and loyalty between you.

9.????You show that you’re an efficient “manager” of your own life. You can either spend time, emotional energy, and hours of lost sleep trying to figure an issue out on your own or you can ask for help and get it quickly taken care of. Which method is more efficient?
