Ever hesitated to ask for help because you fear it might make you look weak? You’re not alone.
For so many leaders, asking for help feels uncomfortable. It can trigger fears of losing credibility, being a burden or even looking incompetent. But in reality, the most impactful leaders know that collaboration and input from others make them stronger - not weaker.
In this episode of the Quiet Leadership Revolution podcast, Lucy Gower and Juliet Corbett explore:
- Why asking for help feels risky, vulnerable and uncomfortable
- The subtle ways leaders can avoid asking for help without even realising it
- How small shifts in language make a huge difference in how help is received
- Practical ways to build a team culture where asking for help is normal and powerful
If you’ve ever resisted asking for help, this episode will challenge you to rethink what true leadership looks like.
