How do you approach mentoring?

Question

I didn't have a solid answer here, and it tripped me up a little bit. It's a subject which is a little weak for me, so I relied on anecdotes from some of my first jobs where I was pseudo-responsible for junior developers.

Set expectations about how mentoring will work, frequency of meetings and general rules of engagement
Work with the mentee (and possibly their manager) on any high level goals that we should work on during the mentoring relationship
Lets the mentee drive the conversations but keep the general goals in mind
Give them feedback and guidance, but avoid telling them what to do. 
Be accountable for the things you commit to with the mentor.  Hold the mentor accountable for the things they commit to.
