This clip (pls watch till the end) reminded me so much of the concept of "career sponsorship" and I thought I'd share a thought or two on this career matter.
"A Sponsor is a senior-level staff member invested in a protégé's career success. ... visibility through finding key projects and people → Sponsors champion their protégés visibility, often using their own platforms and reputation as a medium for exposure"
A Career Sponsor put simply "helps the protege to cross the roads of their career journey"
Does this sound familiar to you? Sensitive in its application as it may appear when appropriately used it certainly produces excellent talent retention and by implication business growth outcomes.
