I found the following quote by Deborah Mills-Scofield in the HBR Blog Network post "The Power of Your Network is the "Ask."
"When we don't use the 'Power of the Ask' we are in essence saying 'no' before the question has even been asked — saying no to opportunities that change our businesses, our organizations, ourselves...and actual lives. So even if it feels uncomfortable, look for even just a small way can you use the 'Power of the Ask' in your network — for someone you work for, with or manage." ~ Deborah Mills-Schofield
