Some of my friends talk about their work the way other friends discuss their children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">In some ways, this can be positive. A deep level of care for your business increases the effort you put in and the thoughtfulness of your choices. On the other hand, it can become unhealthy. For example, if you\u2019ve put all of your resources and energies into your business, then if it comes crashing down, <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/335356\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/335356\">you\u2019ll crash, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Furthermore, it can be difficult to give up control of daily activities when you care so much. At times, I have found it excruciatingly hard to seek help &#8212; to hand over the reins at work to anyone else. Yet doing so has overwhelmingly produced more good than bad.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">People don\u2019t want to be offered\u00a0help<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">A 2018 Michigan State <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2018\/10\/181022122850.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2018\/10\/181022122850.htm\">study<\/a> found that <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/345538\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/345538\">employees often don\u2019t appreciate<\/a> offers of help from coworkers, and that it\u2019s better to wait until you are asked for help before jumping in. The study explains that for many of us, it can be frustrating to offer help and not receive any gratitude in response, which discourages people from offering in the first place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">In the context of running a business, this is a revealing insight with two big takeaways. First, it means that you should ask for help from your employees instead of expecting them to offer it themselves. Second, you should treat your employees the same way, not stepping on their toes to offer assistance unless they ask.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">It\u2019s important to take these lessons to heart, because it actually affects the health and longevity of your company.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">You can\u2019t (and shouldn\u2019t) do it all\u00a0yourself<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">That\u2019s because no matter how much you might feel the pressure of each decision, it\u2019s physically impossible to do it all on your own. As <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/348768\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/348768\">your company grows<\/a>, you\u2019ll most likely be forced to delegate in order to maximize your time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Furthermore, you can\u2019t be an expert on all topics. Letting employees that are skilled in specific functions take on those related tasks will result in higher quality output.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Your employees will gain ownership and competency in the long\u00a0run<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">You might believe you know best and should therefore run a project solo. Even if you\u2019re right, you should still ask for help, because doing so helps your employees grow.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">I\u2019ve seen employees become discouraged and frustrated when I\u2019ve done work without including them. For example, when I was redesigning my website\u2019s homepage, I knew exactly what I wanted and made the changes myself. When I presented the new page to the team and asked them to finish the implementation, they were taken aback. They felt as much ownership over the site\u2019s layout as I did and didn\u2019t appreciate being denied a chance to provide input. After numerous complaints, I had to get everyone on a Zoom call, explain my decision and apologize. Lesson learned.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Asking for others\u2019 help will let them share in ownership of the result, even if it\u2019s only for a small piece of the whole. It will also give them additional insight into your thinking and choices. Over time, they\u2019ll be able to take on more responsibility where they can complete the work to your liking.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">It\u2019s more enjoyable to\u00a0delegate<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Few of us enjoy every type of work. Redesigning a website requires a dramatically different skill set than talking to customers. Regardless of what you might be good at, <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/337355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/337355\">delegating the work<\/a> that you don\u2019t want to do frees you up to do more of what you love.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Your time is valuable. Spending it on the activities that energize and sustain you will do wonders for your company. Finding ways to hand off certain tasks and ask for help from others will leave you happier and more productive.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Be careful about stepping on others\u2019\u00a0toes<\/h3>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Of course, it\u2019s important to maintain a high quality of output in your company. That said, you can\u2019t micromanage. In the study mentioned above, Michigan State management professor Russel Johnson found that employees \u201cbegin to question their own competency and feel a threat to their workplace autonomy\u201d when you ask them if they need help. Imagine how much more insulted your employees might feel if you forcefully tell them what to do.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">That\u2019s why it\u2019s better to take a nuanced approach. People have to learn and fail for themselves, and being a good leader is about helping them learn how to handle failure. In the short run it might lead to some hiccups, but over time it will empower your employees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">By <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/343388\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/article\/343388\">asking for help<\/a> and being deliberate about the ways in which you give it, you will be able to focus on the most meaningful activities and build an effective, motivated team.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Thanks for reading!
