Publisher's Synopsis
The career sponsorship relationship is a reciprocal and mutually beneficial relationship from which both the sponsor and sponsee can benefit. Jovina Ang presents new and comprehensive insights into career sponsorship, combining both the perspectives of the sponsee and sponsor to develop a model of career sponsorship and a framework for career success. She also explores how career sponsorship is different from mentorship and coaching, how the sponsorship relationship initiates and evolves over time, and the positive and negative outcomes that can arise from career sponsorship.
This

construct of career sponsorship. It lays out strategic game plans for how the
aspiring manager, the senior leader and the wider organisation can leverage
sponsorship, enabling individuals to achieve career success while contributing
to organisational objectives. It also illustrates the broader implications of
sponsorship as an investment in social relations and a form of modern social
capital.
