Summary
Who's pulling for you? Who's got your back? Who's putting your hat in the ring? Odds are this person is not a mentor but a sponsor. Mentors can build your self-esteem and provide a sounding board - but they're not your ticket to the top.
If you're interested in fast-tracking your career, what you need is a sponsor - a senior-level champion who believes in your potential and is willing to advocate for you as you pursue that next raise or promotion.
In this powerful-yet-practical audiobook, economist and thought leader Sylvia Ann Hewlett - author of 10 critically acclaimed books, including the groundbreaking Off-Ramps and On-Ramps - shows why sponsors are your proven link to success. Mixing solid data with vivid real-life narratives, Hewlett reveals the "two-way street" that makes sponsorship such a strong and mutually beneficial alliance. The seven-step map at the heart of this audiobook allows you to chart your course toward your greatest goals.
Whether you're looking to lead a company or drive a community campaign, Forget a Mentor, Find a Sponsor will help you forge the relationships that truly have the power to deliver you to your destination.

Great content but….
I really liked the book and founded useful and very practical. My only issue with the book is the narrator mimicking accents such as Indian accent and Asian accents, I find it really inappropriate and could be considered racist.

Content is great, but not a fan of the reader “doing the accents”
The content is great - but I found the American reader attempting their British, Asian and Indian accents when quoting people from those backgrounds really jarring and unnecessary!

Too one-sided towards women
The frequent reference to statistics for women and people of colour made it read like a sociology study. This wasn't necessary as there was no reference to this in the title or description. Restricting it to women-specific examples hinders what should have been a deep-dive into a universally-accessible area. I believe the book should have been written without what seems to be a gender-ethnicity agenda.
