Support from Others
The ability to ask for, accept, and use help—letting others contribute to your success without shame or unnecessary self-reliance.
Why it Matters
Leaders who can receive support make better decisions, stay steadier under pressure, and move faster because they don’t carry everything alone. It also strengthens relationships—because trust grows when support is allowed in.
