In "The Unspoken Rules," Gorick Ng examines various standards and rules that are vital to a successful career. These rules are relevant and applicable to any role in any industry. This book offers tips on topics ranging from having a positive mindset to communicating effectively, from prioritizing various tasks to resolving conflict. Written for those just starting their career, this text is beneficial for navigating and succeeding in the workforce. Part 5, consisting of chapters 12 through 15, discusses how to get ahead in your career. Four specific ideas are looked at: taking advantage of meetings, seeking out and implementing feedback, analyzing and resolving conflicts, and showing your potential. Chapter 15 explores the need to show high potential and not just high performance. The difference between potential and performance is described as well as how the two interact to make someone promotable. You can position yourself for a promotion by claiming an unoccupied responsibility. Think about what you can do that hasn't been done, what you can fix that hasn't been fixed, or what you can share that hasn't been shared. You may set yourself up for a promotion but not get it due to a lack of objectivity or a lack of opportunity. Overall, showing your potential aims to persuade others that investing in you is a good investment for the company.
