Harvey Reginald Specter is famously known as THE MENTOR. He is also called the witty one or the leader but he is best known for his mentoring skills.

He’s also really selective of the people he surrounds himself with so count yourself lucky if you’re one of his chosen people.

However, since everyone can’t possibly have him as a mentor, here are some things to learn from him for professional success.







Everyone needs a Mentor

To succeed in your professional life, you need a mentor. Someone who’s a good friend, who always has your back and who guides you is essential for professional growth. Like in the script, we can see Harvey mentoring mark and Jessica mentoring Harvey. They have each other’s backs and they uplift each other. That’s what mentors do.

Surround yourself with Smart People

In the script, we can see a whole connection of educated and smart people like Harvey, Jessica, louis, donna, Trevor and many others. Success is teamwork and to succeed you must have educated and street-smart people around you for example, Jessica succeeds in outwitting Gerald with Harvey’s help.

Relationships are Important

This shows it is really important to have strong connections around, people who are powerful and successful in their respective fields.









Dressing up is Mandatory

Significance of Emotional Intelligence cannot be Undermined.

Emotional understanding between team members and the importance of being there for each other is key. We have the evidence of Harvey Specter going the extra mile for his team and for the people he mentors.
