HBR Live Webinar: The Unspoken Rules of the Workplace

As we work towards better equality and inclusion, Gorick Ng shares the tools and language to help everyone in the workplace succeed.

About this event

"The Unspoken Rules provides readers with much more than just early careers advice, it can help everyone from interns to CEOs." – Financial Times

The first years of work are the most critical to your career, but nobody tells you how to succeed. You need to know the unspoken rules - the certain ways of doing things that managers expect but rarely explain.

As a first-generation college graduate, Gorick Ng learned the hard way how to build a strong career. He is now a Harvard careers adviser and author. Through interviews with more than 500 professionals at all stages of their careers, Ng has identified the most common problems people face in the workplace. He brings much-needed clarity to working life in his new book The Unspoken Rules, introducing the three C's of Competence, Commitment, and Compatibility, and shows they are critical to success at work.

On 9 September, Gorick Ng will join us to share his strategies for people at the outset of their career, as well as the managers supporting their progress. Pinpointing the 5 most common frustrations for employees and managers, Ng will tackle each one, in turn, showing how both sides want the same outcomes, but are not looking eye-to-eye. The event will conclude with key strategies and tactics employees and managers can apply to start tomorrow - followed by audience Q&A.

At a time when organizations want to create an atmosphere of equality and inclusion, we all need the tools and language to help everyone succeed.
