This is very important IMHO; especially for apprentices that really
need some ramp-up time.  And two-way communication is just important
period.

Another thing that a master-type person should do is provide a general
roadmap of where he is going so that apprentice-types can see how their
contribution fits in.  Also, this would help apprentices figure out
what future tasks they may want to do and if they really want to
apprentice in this area.

my two cents,
