Day 6: What Does a Good Mentor Do?

A good mentor is both a beacon and a guardrail. They should model the behaviors & qualities they are trying to nurture in their protégé. Since mistakes are inevitable when starting any new endeavor, the mentor should also oversee the protégé enough to warn when the mistake might be a big one.

To do this well, a mentor needs: patience, organizational skills, and forethought. An encouraging smile wouldn't hurt either!
