Ideally, "in a PhD way" is with careful attention to problem framing, understanding prior art, and well-structured research roadmaps.

I worry about PhD graduates who seemingly never spent much time hanging out with postdocs. Advisors teach a lot, but some approach considerations can be gleaned more easily from postdocs gunning for academic posts.
