I’m looking to summarize an idea into as few words as possible — to make it as concise as possible. The idea is to ask others for help (putting ego aside), value others’ input, listen to others, learn from others.
What I have so far is “Ask for help and learn from others”, but I’m not that satisfied with it. I’m trying to make a list of rules, such as “be virtuous” or “seek adventure” or “be kind”, and this particular phrase doesn’t really fit in well. Any other suggestions?
And please ask me to clarify if necessary. I’ve been running this through my head for a while, so it might not be clear as I think it is.

You could say Be cooperative (“Ready to work with another person or in a team; ready to cooperate”), or could say Be collaborative. To collaborate means “To work together with others to achieve a common goal”. Another possibility is Be teachable. (One sense is “Willing to receive instruction or to learn”.)
