What Are My Objectives?
1. Clarify the difference between mentors and sponsors;
2. Examine data on the value-added for women with mentors and sponsors;
3. Describe how to find a sponsor; and
4. Discuss what we can do to foster mentorship and promote sponsorship in our organizations.

What do I Assume?

Glass Ceiling is Gone
In "Through the Labyrinth (2007)," Alice Eagly and Linda Carli examine why women's paths to power remain difficult to traverse. A better image than the glass ceiling, since we can make it through the maze…..with mentors and sponsors.

How do I Define the Words?

Mentor vs. Sponsor
“A coach talks toyou, a mentor
talks with you and a sponsor talks
about you.”

Women Leaders Are Underused
A Newsweek columnist, Anna Quindlen writes in The Leadership Lid: “One of the greatest natural resources in America is going underused. And she may be sitting right at the next desk.”

Can Sponsorship Help?
“Mentoring prepares people to move up, while sponsorship makes it happen,” according to Sylvia Ann Hewlett.

Center for Talent Innovation
According to Sheryl Sandberg (2014), in order to move up, women need to acquire a sponsor — a powerfully positioned champion — to help them escape that sticky middle slice of management where so many driven and talented women languish.

Escape the Sticky Middle

Sponsorship is an Investment
It’s not easy to find a sponsor. You need to earn this kind of investment. “Sponsorship only works when it’s a two-way street,” says Patricia Fili-Krushel (2013), chairwoman of the news group at NBC Universal.
![Page 21: Mentorship & Sponsorship for Women](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589bd53a1a28ab92618b67d9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Effective Sponsor Traits
![Page 22: Mentorship & Sponsorship for Women](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589bd53a1a28ab92618b67d9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
5 Ways to Find a Sponsor1. Build on a mentoring relationship;
2. Identify higher ups who inspire you and try to get to know that person;
3. Let the sponsor see you in action;
4. Ask questions and tactfully challenge the status quo; and
5. Ask.

What Can We Do?
![Page 24: Mentorship & Sponsorship for Women](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589bd53a1a28ab92618b67d9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
1. Promote Mentoring

2. Work to Close the Salary Gap

3. Create Formal Sponsor Programs• Clarify and communicate the intent of the
program
• Train sponsors and create a safe environment
• Use program goals to determine sponsor selection and matching
• Involve direct supervisors
• Hold sponsors accountable

4. Combat “The Sponsor Effect”
• Women underestimate the role of sponsorship in their advancement
• Many women feel that getting ahead based on “connections” is a dirty tactic.
• Sponsorship can be misconstrued as sexual interest.
![Page 28: Mentorship & Sponsorship for Women](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589bd53a1a28ab92618b67d9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Men have a critical role to play in creating inclusive workplaces, yet too often they remain an untapped resource in gender initiatives. McKinsey (2013) and Catalyst (2010) showed that the more men know about gender inequalities the more likely they are to lead efforts to close the gender gap.
5. Engage Men in Gender Diversity
![Page 29: Mentorship & Sponsorship for Women](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589bd53a1a28ab92618b67d9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
6. Eliminate the Ambition Gap• At every stage, women are less eager
than men to become a top executive.
• There is evidence pointing to another explanation—the path to leadership is disproportionately stressful for women.

Best Buy has rebounded thanks in large part to 3 women: Mary Lou Kelley, Shari Ballard and Sharon McCollam (Fortune, 2015).

7. Make Gender Diversity a Priority• 74% of companies report that their
CEOs are highly committed to gender diversity.
• However, less than 1/2 of employees believe that gender diversity is a top priority for their CEO, and only 1/3 view it as a top priority for their direct manager.

Even Playing Field for Women• Women are almost 4x more likely than
men to think they have fewer opportunities to advance because of their gender.
• Women are 2x as likely to think their gender will make it harder for them to advance in the future.
![Page 33: Mentorship & Sponsorship for Women](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022030314/589bd53a1a28ab92618b67d9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Different Networks• Men predominantly have male networks,
while women have mostly female or mixed networks.
• Given that men are more likely to hold senior leadership positions, women may end up with less access to senior-level sponsorship.
