There are a lot of smart people around waiting to be asked: to read that thing you wrote, to listen to an idea, to join a cohort, to chaperone a youth retreat, to meet up for coffee.
The worst people can (and will) say is “no.” But even that’s not a total loss; even then the ask has added something to the relationship.
Maybe asking is an underrated tool of leadership.
