HBR article: Don’t Just Mentor Women and People of Color. Sponsor Them.
From the Harvard Business Review:
“Mike Smith, president and COO of Stitch Fix, has long been committed to recruiting and developing a diverse workforce. His impetus for doing so came from his mentor, Ken Coleman, chairman of EIS Group, Inc. and a Silicon Valley veteran, who told him, ‘Be successful, hire, mentor, and sponsor those people of color that come behind you.'”
