1. Mentors<br />
Almost anyone can become a mentor to help another<br />
person maximize their career/business potential, but<br />
there are definitely characteristics and skills that stand<br />
out when analyzing successful mentors, and not everyone<br />
is in possession of these skills. Successful mentors are<br />
people who are comfortable providing honest, constructive<br />
criticism, and are well respected in their company or<br />
industry and have the experience necessary to be able to<br />
discuss a wide range of topics and situations, Are open to<br />
two-way learning, not only helping the mentee learn but<br />
also realizing there are things they could learn from the<br />
mentee, etc.<br />
2. Mentees<br />
The best mentees are those who want to proactively<br />
advance in their careers, are open to receiving<br />
constructive criticism, Are willing to share their mistakes<br />
and failures in order to learn from them, Have the ability to<br />
hold themselves accountable and be self-disciplined, Are<br />
open to new ideas and opinions, etc.<br />
