Copy LinkMany people know the benefit of finding a sponsor, but few realize that being a sponsor is just as important to career growth. In fact, senior executives who sponsor rising talent are 53 percent more likely to be promoted than those who don't. Similarly, middle-level managers who have protégés are 167 percent more likely to be given stretch assignments.
