The Aarthi and Sriram Show
The Importance of Having a Sponsor in Advancing Your Career
Having a mentor or sponsor can make a significant difference in career opportunities, especially for those aiming to rise to senior executive levels. Being connected to a senior figure or someone with career velocity can lead to being pulled along with them for new opportunities. Successful executives often have had a sponsor who supported their career progression. It is crucial for individuals early in their careers to seek out sponsors who can open doors and facilitate advancement from role to role and team to team. A sponsor can propel one into the next role in their 20s, have them run a team in their 30s, and oversee companies or serve on boards in their 40s. The pattern of having a sponsor who pulls others along is consistently observed in successful career advancements. Finding a sponsor is an important consideration for career development.
