A personal mentor is like a personal trainer -- someone who can give you objective and personalized help to make you better.
個(gè)人導(dǎo)師就像私人教練一樣，可以給你提供客觀且個(gè)性化的幫助，讓你變得更優(yōu)秀。
A good mentor is usually someone who knows something about your job and company, but need not be an expert. A mentor shouldn't be your direct manager or in your line of management, because that may create a conflict of interest for him/her. And a mentor should be more senior than you, but not by too much. Someone who is about two promotions higher is ideal. A mentor who is not senior enough may not be able to take a step back and see the forest and not just the trees. But a mentor who is too senior may not be able to step into your shoes and see things they way you do.
一個(gè)好的導(dǎo)師往往對(duì)你的工作和公司有很好的認(rèn)識(shí)，但不必是這方面的專家。導(dǎo)師不一定是你的直屬上司，因?yàn)檫@樣會(huì)有利益沖突。導(dǎo)師的職位最好高于你，但不要相差太多，比你高出兩級(jí)的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)是比較理想的選擇。如果導(dǎo)師的級(jí)別不夠高，他們就有可能看得不夠遠(yuǎn)，容易只見(jiàn)樹(shù)木不見(jiàn)森林。相反，導(dǎo)師的級(jí)別如果太高，那么他們也不太容易站在你的立場(chǎng)來(lái)看問(wèn)題。
There are three types of mentors (or the "three C's):
下面是三種不同類型的導(dǎo)師：
1.Comforter -- A person you call when you're having trouble. A good comforter would lend you a sympathetic ear (and occasionally a shoulder to cry on). But he/she would help you see the silver lining in a dark cloud, and also cheer you up and give you confidence and hope.
1.安慰型：你可以在遇到困難時(shí)給此類導(dǎo)師打電話。他們會(huì)同情地傾聽(tīng)你訴苦，有時(shí)候也會(huì)借個(gè)肩膀給你來(lái)哭。但更重要的是，他們能幫助你在困難中找到解決問(wèn)題的方法，并鼓勵(lì)你，給你信心和希望。
2.Clarifier -- A expert at analyzing and problem-solving. A good clarifier will ask questions, listen, ask more questions, help develop multiple solutions, and finally help you pick one. A really good clarifier should get you to a point where you can pick the solution without help, and also learn how to problem-solve for yourself the next time.
2.解決型：這類導(dǎo)師是分析問(wèn)題、解決問(wèn)題的專家。他們會(huì)問(wèn)你問(wèn)題，傾聽(tīng)你的回答，再問(wèn)你更多的問(wèn)題，然后幫你建立多種不同的解決方案，最后幫你挑選出最適合的一個(gè)。一個(gè)真正好的解決型導(dǎo)師會(huì)指導(dǎo)你如何在沒(méi)有幫助的情況下自己想出解決方案，并教會(huì)你下次遇到問(wèn)題時(shí)，如何自己來(lái)解決。
3.Confronter -- When you are complacent, lazy, or afraid, you need a confronter to challenge and push you, and remind you of your commitments. Good confronters are tough and not always pleasant, but they are particularly important for those of us who lack discipline or courage.
3.鞭策型：當(dāng)你自滿、懶散或害怕時(shí)，這類導(dǎo)師就會(huì)來(lái)鞭策你、推動(dòng)你，并告訴你你的目標(biāo)。他們往往很嚴(yán)厲，不太溫和，但是對(duì)于那些缺乏自律和勇氣的人來(lái)說(shuō)，這類導(dǎo)師相當(dāng)重要。
