A good mentee challenges the mentor. Not in an aggressive way of course, but in a way that means the mentor grows as well. The 'mentee' will ask good questions that really makes the 'mentor' think. In that sense, a good mentee also acts as a mentor themselves. If you're interested, this is an idea that L. David Marquet discusses in his book Turn the Ship Around. He calls it mentor-mentor, as opposed to mentor-mentee.
