Sylvia Ann Hewlett, an economist and the founder of the Center for
Talent Innovation, has studied the difference between mentoring and
sponsorship and what leaders have to gain from the latter. She says
it's important to seek out protégés who outperform, are
exceptionally trustworthy, and, most importantly, offer skills,
knowledge, and perspectives that differ from your own, so you can
maximize the benefits for both parties. Hewlett brings real-world
lessons from several successful pairings and tips on how to
effectively launch and manage these long-term relationships. She's
the author of the book "The Sponsor Effect: How to Be a Better
Leader by Investing in Others."
