Here are a few tips for success professionals must adopt inspired by none other Specter himself -
Win your Battles Even Before the Fight Begins
Harvey's character enjoys winning his cases outside the court because going to court can prove expensive for the client. Just like various other areas in business, if you are able to find a solution that allows you to win your battle without having to go into war, don't think twice.
Take Risks
Not taking any chances is a sure shot route to a dull, boring and dead-end career.
Win Big and Never Lose Small
Instead of focusing your approach on minimizing your losses, focus on the bigger wins. This is more of a playing defensive versus offensive approach where the later almost always proves to be more advantageous.
Taking Controlling and Owning your Job
In the case of Harvey Specter, he brought Mike on board with the full knowledge that if something goes wrong the onus is on him. Remember that you decide to behave in a certain manner and hence, the consequences are none other than your own responsibility.
Following Rules All the Time will get you Nowhere
If you are not comfortable breaking the rules every now and then, you are going to be a great professional disadvantage. By following the rules all the time, not only are you making way for your competition but you are essentially being in denial that they too will not break any rules.
