description:

Helping examines the dynamics between the helper and the person receiving support, emphasising humility and curiosity. Edgar H. Schein outlines different modes of help—from expert advice to process consulting—and explains when each builds trust or creates dependence. The guidance helps coaches, managers, and teammates offer support without disempowering others.
