Why giving isn't always better than receiving
In the LinkedIn Weekend Essay series, Wayne Baker examines the relationship of giving vs receiving; how others are willing to give but reluctant to ask for help/receive, and how both are necessary to develop a culture of free giving and asking.
“Research shows that between 70 percent and 90 percent of help given in the workplace is provided in response to requests for help. Unless you are telepathic, you don’t know what others need until they ask.” -Wayne E. Baker
