Unlike mentors who offer guidance and advice, sponsors are influential leaders who actively advocate for their protégés, leveraging their position and power to create career opportunities. Hewlett argues that having a sponsor is crucial for career progression, especially for women and minorities who might face additional barriers in the workplace. The book combines research findings with real-life examples to illustrate how sponsorship can effectively drive career success.</p>
