Marcus Gurske: 作为一名领导者和导师，我认为指导和管理之间存在着重要的区别。管理更多的是指示和监督，而指导则是赋予他人做决定的机会，并承担相应的结果。当我授权某人参与到某种情况或情境中时，他们能够参与到决策过程中，决定事情的走向、如何反应以及如何应对。这种参与感至关重要，因为它让人们真正成为集体的一部分。要成为集体的一部分，就必须积极参与，不能袖手旁观。这意味着需要积极关注周围的情况，了解可能产生的影响。如果将一个人置于真空环境中，不让他们与他人互动，他们将永远无法成长。就像这个播客一样，如果没有机会说英语和参与对话，就永远无法提高技能。因此，我认为指导的重点在于创造机会，让人们参与其中，做出选择，并从中学习和成长。
