What 30 Rock can teach you about mentoring

NBC’s comedy, 30 Rock wasn’t just one of the cleverest shows on television… Through the quirky relationship between Jack Donaghy and his sassy, adorkable mentee, Liz Lemon, the show also holds some key secrets about mentorship.

Here are some lessons about being a good mentor that you can learn from Jack and Liz.
