We can’t get what we want if we don’t ask. So why don’t we do it more—especially at work?
The problem often comes down to practice, says Craig Wortmann, a professor of innovation and entrepreneurship at Kellogg. After all, if we shy away from making difficult asks, we’ll never build up the discipline and the skills we need to feel comfortable in those moments.
Having served as CEO of several companies, Wortmann has learned a lot about how to make and respond to challenging requests. On this episode of The Insightful Leader, he explains how you can hone the skills you’ll need to boldly ask for what you want.
