Given the ever-evolving nature of the workplace, transactional networking and company-enforced mentorship programs simply don't help make our professional relationships more authentic or our workplaces more equitable.

Mentorship involves helping a mentee change their behavior, while sponsorship involves changing how \u003ci\u003eother people\u003c\/i\u003e see a prot?g?. Sponsorship is as important, if not more so, than mentorship in determining who gets ahead, making it a more effective way to promote social equality and inclusion in the workplace. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eThe Doors You Can Open\u003c\/i\u003e, organizational expert Rosalind Chow shows readers that they likely already engage in sponsorship in their personal and professional networks--and how they can channel those skills to build more authentic professional relationships. We all have more agency and deeper networks to act as sponsors than we might think, and sponsoring others can lead to mutually beneficial lifelong connections rather than merely transactional interactions. Given the ever-evolving nature of the workplace, intentional and equitable sponsorship is more important now than ever for overturning traditional social hierarchies. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on decades of original research, \u003ci\u003eThe Doors You Can Open\u003c\/i\u003e makes a bold case for completely changing the way we network. Reading it will change how we see and use our relationships in the service of creating stronger workplaces for all. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \"Rosalind Chow has spent her career studying how to break barriers, and her book is filled with engaging stories, compelling evidence, and actionable advice.\" \u003cbr\u003e --Adam Grant, #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times-\u003c\/i\u003ebestselling author of \u003ci\u003eThink Again\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \"Through rigorous research and compelling storytelling, Chow revolutionizes our understanding of how careers advance.
