This article published by HBR offers a refreshing perspective on leadership by framing the pursuit and provision of advice as a set of teachable skills rather than innate traits. The authors effectively challenge the common misconception that emotional intelligence and strategic advising are purely inherent, advocating instead for a practical, research-backed approach to these competencies. By delineating the advising process into five actionable stages—finding fit, developing understanding, crafting alternatives, converging on decisions, and implementing advice—the authors provide a structured roadmap for overcoming common pitfalls like premature conclusions and confirmation bias. Their guidelines emphasize a collaborative, iterative approach to problem-solving, promoting a dynamic and ongoing dialogue between seekers and advisers.
