Show Notes
When you ask for help, it means something about your leadership.
To some it may mean you're weak or incompetent. No wonder so many hesitate asking for assistance. Leaders are often under a lot of pressure to succeed and feel like they need to do everything themselves in order to achieve a "perfect outcome" and maintain their status.
This perspective leads to burnout and damages team engagement and morale.
I host Monica McGurk, CEO of Tropicana Group, who shares why asking for help is vital for leaders and three important ways to do it more effectively.
Monica is also a “disruptor”, having worked with some of America’s most iconic brands (Coca-Cola, Kellogg, Tyson) and it's most disruptive startups (Beyond Meat, PivotBio).
She’s also an award winning author who got her start in fanfiction, and wife and mom of three (four if you include the dog).
