Marcus: 作为一名导师,我认为管理和指导之间存在着根本的区别。管理是分配任务和监督执行,而指导是赋予人们做决定的机会,让他们在实践中学习和成长。我相信,通过允许人们体验成功和失败,他们能够更好地理解自己的能力和局限性。因此,我会积极地授权给我的团队成员,鼓励他们参与到决策过程中,并为他们提供必要的支持和指导。我会让他们参与到具体情境中,帮助他们理解情况,让他们有机会参与其中。为了让他们真正参与,我鼓励他们积极参与周围发生的事情,了解可能的结果。如果将某人置于真空环境中,不允许他们与他人互动,他们将永远没有成长的机会。这就像学习英语一样,如果没有机会进行对话和交流,就永远无法提高技能。 Marcus: 回顾我的职业生涯,我意识到早期我缺乏真正的导师。虽然我的父母、老师和教育者都给予了我支持,但他们更多的是被动支持,而不是积极推动我前进。我渴望有一位导师能够看到我的潜力,并积极地鼓励我追求自己的目标。我进入的行业竞争非常激烈,找到愿意分享经验和知识的人需要时间。我发现,真正的导师会积极地推动你进步,挑战你的极限,帮助你拓展自己的能力范围。他们不仅会支持你,还会严格要求你,因为他们对你和自己都有信心。他们会推动你前进,而不是只做啦啦队。我非常感激在我职业生涯中遇到的两位导师,Josh Keller和Keith。他们以身作则,告诉我不能只是出现,还要实际行动。他们鼓励我勇于实践,不怕困难,努力提升技能。他们不仅提出要求,还会跟进、推动,并放手让我成长。即使到了现在,我仍然在寻找能够激励我、帮助我进步的人。同时,我也努力回馈社会,帮助下一代年轻人发掘自己的潜力。 Marcus: 在跨文化团队中工作,我深刻体会到倾听的重要性。倾听不仅仅是听对方说什么,还要观察他们的表达方式和肢体语言,了解他们的目标和动机。我会思考如何帮助他们成功完成任务,并根据不同的情况调整我的领导和指导风格。我的工作是帮助人们解决问题,提供建议和解决方案。因此,我会积极倾听,理解问题的本质,并与团队成员建立良好的关系。我意识到,倾听、肢体语言和面部表情是沟通的重要组成部分,要积极倾听并全身心投入对话。 Marcus: 对于初任领导者,我认为最常犯的错误是自以为是,认为自己什么都懂。要避免这种错误,就要谦虚,多了解他人和环境。我曾经有制造混乱以控制局面的坏习惯,后来通过积极和接受反馈来改正。作为领导者,要接受批评,认识到自己的局限性,并通过学习找到解决方案。伟大的导师既有同情心,也有严格的一面。他们既能理解他人的经历,也能在必要时给予严厉的爱。在艰难的情况下,如何传递信息会直接影响对方的接受和反应。因此,要根据对方的情况调整反馈方式,有时需要温和,有时需要直接。生活是复杂的,个人问题会影响工作,反之亦然。因此,要保持同情心,理解他人的处境。 Marcus: 在高压环境下,要指导他人保持冷静和真实,就要强调谦逊和真诚。做事的动机要纯粹,不要追求聚光灯。真诚是无法伪装的,要勇于承认错误,并承诺弥补。对于内向者和远程工作者,他们可以通过安静的领导风格、以身作则和支持他人来发挥自己的领导力。在远程工作时,建立良好关系非常重要,要从问候开始,建立融洽关系。未来,领导者需要与团队互动,建立关系,才能帮助他们成功,最终成就自己。尽管人工智能很强大,但无法取代人际互动。人工智能无法感知他人的情绪和困难,也无法告诉你真正需要知道的信息。因此,要通过人际互动来了解他人,并建立深厚的联系。指导是花时间关心他人,领导是推动他人前进,两者并不互斥。要成为有效的导师和领导者,首先要投资自己,不断提升个人技能,认识到我们都不完美,并愿意投入时间和精力去解决问题。 Curtis: 我认为倾听、肢体语言和面部表情是沟通的重要组成部分。交流时要运用肢体语言、眼神交流等技巧。积极倾听并全身心投入对话至关重要。
