Mentoring is one thing, but sponsorship takes it to a different level, writes Roxanne Calder.
A quote from The New York Times about women’s career success has remained embedded in my mind, “Mentors are good. Sponsors are better.” It’s simple, and I love it.

It seems we are still looking for that perfect role. In any other era of economic uncertainty, the focus would be to keep our job and not look elsewhere. In the Global Financial Crisis and even the 90's recession, we stayed put, appeasing our employers in every way to ensure our employment was safeguarded. But these are not any other times.

Around 1440, the first . Before that, books were handwritten by scribes and accessed only by the elite and educated, who really were the same people. Gratefully, the printing press revolutionised education and our human evolution. Imagine relying on the limited elite for the universe’s progress. A disheartening thought.

The late 2000s introduced a call for more transparent, genuine and accountable leaders, otherwise known as authentic leadership theory. It is hard to believe good leadership could be anything but transparent, genuine, and authentic. What was tolerated before this point? Now, there is the call for transparent-everything, including your pay. Surely, there is a place for discretion and privacy. It’s not clandestine, just some things are better kept confidential. Right?
