What about asking a random person on the street if you could borrow their phone? If the idea makes you squeamish, you're not alone--social psychologists have found that doing these very things makes most of us almost unbearably uncomfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut here's the funny thing: even though we hate to ask for help, \u003ci\u003emost people are wired to be helpful\u003c\/i\u003e. And that's a good thing, because every day in the modern, uber-collaborative workplace, we all need to know when and how to call in the cavalry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHowever, asking people for help isn't intuitive; in fact, a lot of our instincts are wrong. As a result, we do a poor job of calling in the reinforcements we need, leaving confused or even offended colleagues in our wake.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis pragmatic book explains how to get it right. With humor, insight, and engaging storytelling, Heidi Grant, PhD, describes how to elicit helpful behavior from your friends, family, and colleagues--in a way that leaves them feeling genuinely happy to lend a hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhether you're a first-time manager or a seasoned leader, getting people to pitch in is what leadership \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e. Fortunately, people have a natural instinct to help other human beings; you just need to know how to channel this urge into what it is you specifically need them to do. It's not manipulation. It's just management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHeidi Grant, PhD\u003c\/b\u003e, is a social psychologist who researches, writes, and speaks about the science of motivation.
