Description
Another popular misnomer, is the concept of having a sponsor or mentor. For many years it has been the ‘must have’ for any aspiring executive, but how do you obtain one? Who should it be and what will they do? Who is advocating for you on those crucial promotion panels? Almost every key decision about your future career, including annual appraisal ratings and pay decisions will take place when you are not even in the room. To fulfil your career aspirations and potential, you will need both sponsors AND mentors. This may mean applying a variety of personal styles to open up opportunities. Once attained, you will need to contract with them and control what you want them to do, ultimately driving your desired career outcomes.
