The last two years have been hard — unpredictably, unavoidably, and unimaginably hard. And as we face an ever-changing world of work, we know that the only way that our leaders and teams can grow and succeed is by helping one another. And yet, too many of us in our professional (and personal) lives don’t know exactly what kind of help we need, or how to accept help without feeling vulnerable, or how to offer the best kind of help to those we see struggling.
Columbia and Wharton Business School instructor Deborah Grayson Riegel has addressed this surprisingly complex topic in her new book, “Go To Help: 31 Strategies to Offer, Ask for, and Ask for Help” (co-written with her daughter, Sophie, a junior at Duke University). It’s for professionals at all levels who want to develop their “help-fluency”: becoming adapt at offering a wide range of helping strategies (not just their go-to approach), and being willing to ask for help for themselves.
