Finding Mentors Sponsors

refoundai/lenny-skills

This pulls frameworks from 19 product leaders on building mentor and sponsor relationships. It helps you distinguish between mentors (advice), sponsors (advocacy), and coaches (accountability), then guides you through identifying candidates and making specific asks. The approach is refreshingly tactical: start with two-minute questions instead of "will you be my mentor," build a stable of 3-4 mentors for different needs, and always follow up with results. What I like is how it reframes mentorship as a collection of relationships rather than one perfect match. Includes concepts like peer coaching circles, "dead or distant mentors" (studying leaders through their work), and why sponsors who bet their capital on you matter more than advice-givers for career acceleration.
