"Can you help me?"

Just those four words. No explanations, no qualifiers. Just ask for help.

When you ask that way, several powerful things immediately happen:

• You instantly convey respect.
• You immediately convey trust.
• You instantly convey that you're willing to listen.

You might also get the help you really need.

You get more, a lot more.

You've shown it's OK to express vulnerability, to admit a weakness, and to know when you need help.

And then, best of all, you get to say two more incredibly powerful words:

"Thank you."

PS. After my last (more negative) post about the boss, I wanted to post something more positive that can really change teamwork.
