Giving Advice, is it Helpful or Damaging?
Have you been given advice you didn’t ask for or asked for advice and haven’t been given it?
Everyone will have experience both of giving and receiving advice but being able to develop your skills as someone who gives effective advice in the right way is a crucial aspect of any leadership role.
In this episode, Julie looks at why to be an effective advice-giver you have to be able to provide reassurance, calm fears and inspire confidence.
Advice giving is an art and as a leader, it’s important to develop the skills to be an expert guide for those you give advice to providing the expertise that will move everyone forward.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- People ask a particular individual for advice because they have particular knowledge and experience.
- People should be able to make their own decisions it’s how you grow.
- If people are always asking you for advice they may have become dependent on you.
- People give unsolicited advice because they believe they are helping.
- Giving advice can validate you and make you feel good about yourself but it can cause conflict if the advice has not been asked for.
- People often seek advice because they are unable to solve the problem with the same level of thinking that created it.
- Advice is almost never an exclusively logical process.
- With both giving and receiving advice there will be emotion involved.
- An advisor has to learn to disagree without being disagreeable.
- Advice giving is an art and we have to learn the skills.
- A leader and manager’s role is to be the expert guide, to be the expert in reasoning through the situation.
- As the leader, you will need to provide reassurance, calm fears and inspire confidence.
