Understanding sponsorship
- Welcome to Effective Sponsorship as a Leader. Sponsorship is a powerful relationship where an experienced leader, known as the sponsor, advocates for and supports a high-potential individual. This relationship goes beyond mentoring or coaching, focusing on actively championing the sponsee's career advancement. Sponsors open doors, create opportunities, and propel careers forward by using their influence to help sponsees navigate organizational landscapes and achieve their goals. Unlike other support roles, sponsorship involves a deep commitment to the sponsee's success and is characterized by visibility and advocacy at higher levels.
