25.01.2022 Photo by Filip Mroz on Unsplash Here is a story elegantly stating a simple premise about leveraging shared strengths for success: A father and young boy were walking along a pathway, when they came across a large tree trunk that had fallen across the way. The father encouraged the boy to go move the tree, to which the son replied he wasn’t strong enough.... Yes! You are, said the dad. If you use all your strength, I know you can do it. So, the boy summoned all he had, and, against the mighty forces of nature, he tried. And tried. And tried again. Finally, hanging his head, he went back to admit to his father that he just couldn’t do it. Did you use all your strength? The man asked. The boy nodded he had. No, actually son, no you didn’t, the father said. And as the boy looked up, puzzled, the Dad bent down and said You didn’t use me. This story nicely illustrates the fact that we first look to ourselves to carry the burden instead of reaching out to others for their help. Within an organization we all share common goals, have access to the best that the organization has to offer and it's simply a matter of using these resources and asking for help, however needed, that leads to optimal outcomes. But does this collaborative approach easily happen within your workplace? Or, do people more often respond as the boy did in the story and go it alone? Tell me in the Comments section below....
