Overcoming the Curse of Expertise: Better Learning & Leadership

Ting Zhang’s research into the ‘curse of expertise’ shows an interesting problem: the more we know, the harder it can be to explain things to someone who’s just starting out. This can make it tough to teach, give advice, or lead effectively.

The good news is, there’s a way to fix this.

Ting Zhang, from Harvard Business School, explains her work. She breaks down what the curse of expertise is, why it matters, and most importantly: how to avoid it. She outlines a few small adjustments we can make that have a big impact on the way we lead and work with others.
