????2. 充分利用現(xiàn)有的技術(shù)手段,。瑞奇和她的學習者們“一開始會安排每月談一次,，然后隨著學徒的需求發(fā)生變化，交流調(diào)整成了每個季度一次,，”瑞奇說,。“但我每天都會在Facebook上看到她,。她經(jīng)常更新,，內(nèi)容既涉及工作內(nèi)容，也涉及個人興趣,。這些確實幫助我們保持了聯(lián)系,。此外，我們還在Twitter上留言,，互發(fā)短信,。” ????3. 尋求指導時要具體而直接,。一旦到了中國,，你的導師會非常忙碌，可能沒有時間去仔細琢磨你到底需要什么樣的幫助,，因此表述清楚是你的任務(wù),。瑞奇給雅加達學習者的指導既包括重大的問題（比如，是否應(yīng)該接受一家競爭性公司一項職責更大的工作,？）,，也涉及一些細節(jié)性的小問題（比如，在某個特定項目上她應(yīng)該利用誰的技術(shù)專長,？）,。 ????“每次她需要問我什么樣的信息或意見，她都非常直接,，”瑞奇稱,。“這有助于我給出最好的答案,?！蓖恚５媳硎?，在每次約定會談前,，給導師發(fā)一份電子郵件，描述一下你現(xiàn)在的處境發(fā)生了什么變化,，或者你具體希望討論什么問題,。她說：“這樣就能直奔主題,。” ????4. 會面后的跟進,。首先,，每次談話后，“發(fā)送一份談話摘要,，概括談話的內(nèi)容,，確保沒有遺漏和誤解，”福迪建議,?！笆裁磿r候這都是個好主意，但當兩人相隔遙遠時,，它尤其管用,。” ????其次,，瑞奇說,，讓導師知道她的建議效果如何?！拔液軜芬庵牢业慕ㄗh是否成功,，或者不太成功。讓我知道什么奏效了,，什么需要再次斟酌,，這些都是很寶貴的信息，”她說,?！奥牭浇Y(jié)果如何也讓我學到了很多。這就是教學相長,?！?/p> ????反饋：如果你有過一位遠程導師——或者自己就是這樣一位導師——什么樣的方式是有效的？請在下面留下寶貴意見,。 ????譯者：老榆木 |
????2. Tap into all the available technology. Nicki Rich and her mentee "started out scheduling meetings once a month, then went to once every quarter as her needs changed," says Rich. "But I see her on Facebook every day. She posts a lot, both about what she's doing at work and her personal interests, which really helps us stay in touch. We also tweet and text." ????3. Be specific and direct in asking for guidance. Once she gets to China, your mentor is going to be so busy that she probably won't have time to figure out what you need help with, so articulating that is going to be your job. Rich has coached her Jakarta mentee on large questions (should the mentee accept a bigger job at a competing company?) and smaller ones (whose technical expertise should she seek out for a particular project?). ????"She is very direct in asking me for exactly the information or insight she really needs at that moment," says Rich. "That helps me give her my best answer." Along the same lines, Forte adds, before each scheduled session, send your mentor an email description of any changes in your situation or other issues you want to discuss. "That way, you can get right into the substance of the discussion," she says. ????4. Follow through between meetings. First, after each conversation, "send a summary of what came out of the discussion, just to make sure nothing slipped through the cracks or was misunderstood," Forte advises. "It's always a good idea, but especially when great distances are involved." ????And second, says Rich, let your mentor know how her advice worked out. "I appreciate knowing whether what I suggested was successful, or less so. It's valuable for me to know what works and what I need to rethink," she says. "I learn a lot from hearing how a situation turned out. It really is a two-way street." ????Talkback: If you've ever had a virtual mentor -- or been one -- what worked for you?
