Answer to Question 2

Answer: Effective mentors set high standards, are willing to invest the time and effort the mentoring relationship requires, and actively steer protgs into important projects, teams, and jobs. Effective mentoring requires a level of trust that reflects the mentor's professional competency, consistency, ability to communicate, and readiness to share control.
