Asking questions is not a problem, the only reason of my hesitance can be hierarchy issues that relates to respect of reporting lines. Going directly to someone higher in authority than your current boss or during his absence an appointed in charge. However, if its a matter of urgency I believe that its a must to ask.

When your questions are genuine, the fear factor becomes cease to exist. Its better to clear yourself from the Leader to avoid later disappointments.

Instead of making mistakes i prefer to ask questions. Because those questions are going to lead me complete my task successfully. I personally never hesitate to ask questions. Maybe these questions will show the project needs a different view or a review.

If you dont ask questions, then you are not interested to learn and improve. It is not the quantity of questions being asked to your team leader, its the quality and the relevance. As long as the questions will help in improving your outcome and relevant to your work then go for it. I personally ask to know details of everything i work in, it makes me provide better and more confident at what i do.
