Are you investing in the right people? Many people know the benefit
of finding a sponsor--someone who goes beyond traditional
mentorship to partner with a junior-level employee to help build
their skills, advocate for them when opportunities arise, and open
doors. But few realize that being a sponsor is just as important to
career growth as finding one. According to new research from
economist and thought leader Sylvia Ann Hewlett, senior executives
who sponsor rising talent are 53 percent more likely to be promoted
than those who don't. Similarly, middle-level managers who have
proteges are 167 percent more likely to be given stretch
assignments. Well-chosen proteges contribute stellar performance,
steadfast loyalty, and capabilities that you, the sponsor, may
lack, thus increasing how fast and how far you can go. But how do
you find standout proteges, let alone develop them so that they're
able to come through for you and your organization? This book has
the answers you need. Combining powerful new data and rich examples
drawn from in-depth interviews with leaders from companies such as
Unilever, Aetna, Blizzard Entertainment, and EY, The Sponsor Effect
provides a seven-step playbook for how you can become a successful
sponsor. You'll learn to: Identify the right mix of proteges
Include those with differing perspectives Inspire your proteges and
ignite their ambition Instruct them to develop key skill sets
Inspect your picks for performance and loyalty Instigate a deal,
detailing the terms of a relationship Invest three ways and reap
the rewards Along the way, you'll discover the enormous benefits of
investing in these valuable relationships.
