Hey, can I run something by you?
Who in a professional workplace hasn't asked, or been asked, this question dozens, even hundreds of times?
Everyone needs a sounding board now and then. It is one of the most common ways people seek to validate a judgment, get a second opinion, or solve a difficult problem. And most people, when looking for expertise they lack or insight they need, turn instinctively to those immediately around them.
If only your employees could always count on the colleague or co-worker they know to have the expertise they are looking for.
