The Doors You Can Open

Rosalind Chow's "The Doors You Can Open" explores the concept of sponsorship as a crucial tool for fostering inclusivity in the workplace.

The book differentiates sponsorship from mentorship, highlighting how sponsors act on behalf of their protégés to influence external audiences.

Chow emphasizes the importance of trust in sponsorship, arguing that sponsors must trust their protégés' abilities, while the protégés' trust in the sponsor is less critical.

The book provides practical strategies for individuals to become effective sponsors and advocates for others, ultimately contributing to a more equitable and inclusive work environment.

It challenges traditional networking approaches, advocating for a collective problem-solving model that prioritizes the group's success.
