Interview with Mike Sledge, Chief Executive Officer, Robbins-Gioia. Mike: “Joe is on my team and wants to sponsor a program that he strongly believes in. He has been with the company a long time and understands the organization. I want to support him. However, as a senior executive you have to ask if the program will advance the organization and fill a strategic need. If the answer is yes, then I have to find out how I can support Joe in his role as executive sponsor and channel his enthusiasm for the program into a successful initiative. Executive management needs to broker and support the sponsor and help him or her support the team. Sponsors need support from the executive leadership team to do a good job.”
