If you have a question or a challenge at work that’s been on your mind for a while, this monday tip is for you: Ask someone at work for advice.
We often hold back from asking for help because we’re afraid to disturb or annoy others, but in reality most people like to be asked for their opinion. It makes them feel appreciated, valued and shows that they can make a difference.
It can also be a great help for you. I can’t count the number of times I’ve had a seemingly unsolvable problem at work that I’ve banged my head against for hours, but which is solved in five minutes by co-worker I bring in to ask for help. Now that’s annoying :o)

“It makes them feel appreciated, valued and shows that they can make a difference.”
I have seen abusing it to manipulate and use people.
It works that way too :o)
