10. SEEKING ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT

Key approaches to implementing

the skill in a workplace

Effectively seeking assistance and support in the workplace
involves several key strategies to ensure you receive the help

you need:

Proactively seek support when you get to a

standpoint. Take the initiative to seek assistance
rather than waiting for someone to notice your

challenges. Expressing your needs and reaching out
for support can facilitate a quicker resolution and

will help you and your team avoid potential delays.

Define who actually can help you. Start with

understanding who has the knowledge and
resources to actually provide you the assistance or

support you need. Knowing who knows what or who
among your colleagues can direct you to the right

person is a key in obtaining effective support.

Be very specific regarding what do you need. Make
sure that you understand what support do you

need and are able to clearly describe it or present
it. Make sure the person you hope to support you

has all the relevant details to provide you the right
advise or support. Remember in our complex world,

the same problem in different circumstances can

require different solutions, so do not ignore the
context.
