Hot Off The Press: The Sponsor Effect
Many people know the benefit of finding a sponsor, but few realize that being a sponsor is just as important to career growth. In fact, senior executives who sponsor rising talent are 53 percent more likely to be promoted than those who don't.

Hear from economist, thought leader, and author Sylvia Ann Hewlett as she discusses her latest book; describes how to be a good sponsor; and indicates why, by learning to do so, you will gain the benefits of stellar performance, steadfast loyalty, and capabilities that you, the sponsor, may lack—thus increasing how fast and how far you can go.
