It’s good when someone on your team asks for help. It shows that they’re taking their responsibilities seriously and are aware that they’re out of their skillset or time. The work will get done, they’ll learn a new skill or better scheduling, and everyone can get back to doing what they do.

It’s bad when someone on your team asks for help too often. It shows that they’re being overburdened with work (which means you need to grow the team), they don’t have the necessary skills to do the job (which might mean a training requirement or it could mean they’re out of their depth).

It’s worst when someone asks for help and you do nothing about it.

The work suffers, they suffer, people are let down, the pile gets higher and the problem still belongs to you.

Skippy strategy: When they ask for help, do something about it.
