Imagine this situation: A coworker calls you in a panic. He’s facing a fast-approaching deadline, and you are the only person who can help him succeed in getting some critical task done. This hypothetical coworker explains to you what he’s working on and how it’s critical to the success of the organization in some way; he’s at his wits’ end in trying to accomplish a portion of that task, and he’s asking you in desperation to help him out. Would you help him? Of course, right? Most of us wouldn’t even stop to think about it.
