A short excerpt from a Cameron Herold YouTube video arguing that leaders must encourage team members to ask for help. The speaker challenges the misconception that needing help is a personal failure and reframes failure as the team member’s reluctance to raise their hand, which also prevents leaders from providing necessary assistance.

At any given time throughout your career, you don't have all the answers. And many people feel like they need to just put their head down, figure it out. And if they don't figure it out on their own, they're a failure. And quite frankly, they're the failure when they don't raise their hand and ask for help. Because now we haven't been given that opportunity to step in and give the assistance that I think is required of leadership.
