REPORT OFFERS PROVEN STRATEGY FOR COMPANIES STRUGGLING WITH DIVERSITY AT THE TOP Harvard Business Review
Companies determined to create the most effective, most competitive C-Suite team possible rely on male sponsorships to give top female managers the opportunity to lead.
The Sponsor Effect: Breaking Through the Last Glass Ceiling is a must read for companies large and small that are consciously or unconsciously preventing women from rising to the very top.
Sylvia Ann Hewlett, an economist and founding President of the Center for Work Life Policy, is frequently tapped by major news networks for her insights on women in business. In this intensely research-grounded report, Ms. Hewlett tackles the lack of male sponsorship as a serious roadblock to women, as well as men, with C-Suite ambitions.

THE  SPONSOR  EFFECT:
Addresses how lack of sponsorship
impacts your female managers; and hamstrings your recruiting and diversity efforts.
Identifies common misperceptions contributing to your C-Suite diversity
problem.
Includes proven sponsorship strategies for keeping your best female talent and preparing them for leadership positions.
Provides how-to tactics for getting your top women to understand, value and seek sponsorship.
Written with real-life application in mind by a team of academic and corporate researchers, the report candidly and thoroughly addresses:
What is sponsorship? How is it different from mentoring?
• A high-level executive with power and powerful connections sponsors a
  promising manager.
• Unlike mentors, sponsors help top performing women envision their potential,
  provide advice, and go to bat for them.
• While sponsorship tends to naturally occur among men, many top male managers
  don't have it as well.
How is lack of sponsorship holding back both top-performing women and
their companies?
• Only 3% of Fortune 500 CEO positions are held by women.
• As the economy continues to improve, your company will have to fight for top talent.
• Without C-Suite diversity, the best female recruits will sign on with the competition.
Why are women often their own worst enemies?
• Women underestimate the critical influence of sponsorship.
• Unlike men, women think getting ahead by leveraging relationships is unfair and unethical.
