Being bright and hard-working isn’t enough to make partner in a law firm or to rise to the C-suite in a corporation or senior leadership in a not-for-profit. Far too many high-potential professionals don’t thrive in the workplace: they are talented professionals who just don’t know the rules of the game.
All organizations have rules – unwritten and often unacknowledged – that must be followed if one wishes to survive and thrive. Once you know and apply these rules, you will be recognized, advance, and lead not only in your organization but throughout your profession.
