 As we gain responsibility and expertise over the course of our careers, we become accustomed to being the person folks ask for help. Most of us generously give our time whenever we're asked for any type of assistance. This also has the side effect of feeding our egos. We like being the expert. Sometimes we get so accustomed to being the expert, we overlook our own need to ask for help. We think we can just power through a problem and devise a solution ourselves. If we step back for a moment, we realize that we could use some additional resources in solving our challenges. When we reach out for those resources, we learn things we didn't know and come up with a better solution. This is a hallmark of a person who is part of a learning organization. Lead well this week.
