network. • don’t build the reputation you want
to be known for.• don’t make your value visible.

“There is a special kind of relationship—called sponsorship—in which the mentor goes beyond giving feedback and advice and uses his or her influence with senior executives to advocate for
the mentee.
Our interviews and surveys alike suggest that high-potential women are overmentored and
undersponsored relative to their male peers—and that they are not advancing in their
organizations.”
