Six ways to reciprocate when someone is investing in your career.
,” sponsors are full-throated advocates who expend political capital on their sponsees. How sponsors do their jobs can make a huge difference in the success of this crucial relationship — but to make the most of it, sponsees themselves have an even more consequential role to play.
That said, sponsees don’t need air-tight certainty about their ambition. When sponsees worry about not having a clear vision for their next step, we try to help them understand that there is still a lot they can do. One sponsee we worked with, for example, completed a SWOT analysis for her current role. Another created a deck for her sponsor outlining her contributions. Another focused on building a list of leaders she hoped to add to her network.
What role or opportunity might be a fit for you, but you think you’re not quite ready for it? What would it take, in your opinion, to be ready? One sponsee we know was placed in two advancement programs, then given additional scope in her role without headcount. Tied up on work calls during her vacation, she lacked both time to think about career growth and emotional reserves to take new risks. But she kept her sponsor in the dark, worrying he would judge her for a lack of sangfroid. Once the sponsee opened up, he coached her to approach her manager with a deck outlining a way forward.
