The role of the five fold ministry is to produce mature saints. Mature saints aren't blind sheep. Mature saints are able to fulfill the great commission.

Is it really the responsibility, duty, or role of a Pastor to be a mentor? And what exactly is the role of a Pastor? Other than being the punching bag or person we blame if things don't work out the way we think they should.
IMO, it'd be good for a Pastor to either directly mentor others, or have a board of church elders who can do this, but it's not required as part of their role or duty.
