Yes it's a good tactic for improving relationships at work. Asking your coworkers for their assistance makes them feel important and trusted. But it should be obvious you can go too far. Asking for assistance too often or when you're basically asking someone to do your job is not going to go over well.
And ideally asking for help shouldn't come from a conniving mindset. You should go to your coworkers for help when you actually need it, instead of wasting time spinning your wheels because you want do everything yourself.
Also works with friends and neighbors, again when used sparingly. You can become a nuisance if you're asking for help all the time.
