#help-seeking

I perched next to someone I knew. "You know, the only people who act like that are on drugs." I ignorantly spoke, parroting the messaging I'd been getting for a few years now. They stopped. "You know, I used to use drugs." Here was someone I respected sitting next to me, and what they said challenged everything I thought I understood.

There's a myth that to be a good leader, you need to be the smartest person in the room. This reluctance, often rooted in fear, prevents leaders from asking for help.
