High performer seems less likely to be a sponsor, but I’m torn between Champion and Manager for this one.

I remember practicing a question about roles in improvement efforts, and I think Manager was mentioned as a potential sponsor too.

I think the sponsor role is usually linked to the Champion, but I'm not entirely sure.

I'm a bit confused by this question. The roles all sound kind of similar to me. I'll have to make an educated guess on this one.

Okay, I think I've got it. The sponsor is the one who provides the resources and support to make the improvement effort successful. Based on that, I'm going to go with option B, Champion.

Hmm, I'm not entirely sure about this one. The options seem pretty similar, and I'm having trouble distinguishing the differences between them. I'll have to think it through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about the roles involved in an improvement effort. I'll carefully read through the options and think about which one best fits the description of a sponsor.

I don't know, maybe the CEO should be the sponsor - that way they can take all the credit when the improvement effort succeeds, and blame the champion when it fails!

C) Steward? Interesting choice, but I don't think that's quite the right definition for a sponsor. I'm leaning towards B) Champion as the best answer here.

D) High performer? That's a bit of a stretch. I doubt the high performer would be the one sponsoring the effort. Probably B) Champion is the correct answer.

Yeah, a high performer might not have the authority or resources to sponsor the effort.

Hmm, I'm not too sure about this one. Maybe the manager would be the sponsor? They usually have the authority to drive improvements, right?
