In today's data-driven reality, it remains evident that underrepresented groups face a common challenge: they are often over-mentored and under-sponsored. While individual performance plays a role in career progression, the presence of a sponsor becomes a significant factor in facilitating continued advancement. This gets more critical and more challenging at senior levels. The persistently discouraging lack of progress in leadership representation indicates that underrepresented groups lack the critical support of sponsors advocating for them during pivotal career decisions made in rooms where they are absent, thereby preventing us from maximizing strategies for innovation.
