How You Grow Your Power by Giving it Away

To be a successful sponsor, it is important to know the person you are sponsoring and not let fear of their mistakes discourage you from supporting other leaders. Investing in sponsorship is essential for building a leadership legacy. Sponsoring more people is a sign of resilience, while mentoring involves sharing career experiences. Giving away power involves empowering others, allowing them to take charge and shine. This includes providing opportunities for growth and giving constant feedback. It is crucial to engage with team members and build trust to retain top talent. Lastly, being authentic and forthright is necessary for effective leadership.
