ABOUT THIS EVENT
As part of DECODE Speaker Series, learn from Gorick Ng on strategies that you can apply immediately to get further, faster in your career.

No one tells you how to navigate your first day, week, month, and year in a new role. No one tells you how to take ownership, manage expectations, and handle workplace politics. No one tells you how to get promoted.

These are all unspoken rules–certain ways of doing things that managers expect but don’t explain and that top performers do but don’t realize.

These rules aren’t taught in school. Instead, they get passed down over the dinner table or from mentor to mentee, making for an unlevel playing field between the insiders who get ahead and the outsiders who stumble through the trial and error.

That is, until Gorick Ng, a firstgeneration college student at Harvard College and Harvard Business School, former BCG management consultant / Credit Suisse investment banker, and Harvard career adviser, interviewed 500+ professionals across industries and job types to understand the unspoken rules that underpin successful careers. On April 27, 2021, Gorick will be releasing his strategies via a Harvard Business Review book titled, The Unspoken Rules: Secrets to Starting Your Career Off Right.

In this talk, Gorick will share some key insights from his book, along with practical strategies that participants will be able to apply immediately to get further, faster in their careers.
