The "Lead and Take Charge" point is an interesting one, which I don't entirely agree with (if I'm reading it correctly). I mentor weekly (codebar) and sometimes find myself not knowing the answer to a question. When that happens, I'm honest about my position, and then show the mentee how I go about figuring out the answer. After a couple of times I get them to suggest an approach to answering it. By doing this, I cede control. The point, after all, it to make myself redundant as a mentor!
