Based on the author's doctoral dissertation, this book describes the career sponsor relationship and its impact on career success from both the perspectives of the person being sponsored and the sponsor, focusing on the sponsorship of women. It outlines the game plan of successful sponsorship for the sponsee, sponsor, and organization, and how the stakeholders can use sponsorship for their individual and collective success. It describes the need for sponsorship and differences from coaching and mentoring; antecedents of sponsorship; phases of the sponsor relationship; its reciprocal nature and outcomes; the importance of a home support system; a sponsorship model; the capital resources needed for career success; sponsorship and the development of women leaders; the risks of sponsor relationships; the dark side of sponsorship, such as favoritism and nepotism, forced obligation, perception of an affair, career blocking, and negative relations; a sponsorship game plan for aspiring managers, senior leaders, and organizations; and sponsorship and its application to the future of work. The book ends with case studies of Deutsche Bank's ATLAS (Accomplished Top Leaders Advancement Strategies) program and the Canadian Protégé Project.
