What can hip-hop teach you about corporate America? According to author Lemar Ingram, the answer is everything. His new book, “The G Code: A Hip-Hop Connoisseur’s Guide Through Corporate America,” offers real-world lessons on how street smarts translate into boardroom success.
“There's no instruction manual, and many of us don't have mentors,” Ingram told Inside South Florida. “A lot of times, we're the first generation of family to go into corporate. So you're not quite sure how to play it.”
Through chapters like “Let Them Use You,” Ingram challenges readers to rethink what it means to be valuable in the workplace. “Only useful people get used,” he says. “At the end of the day, someone using you isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a matter of perspective.”
The book also includes journaling sections to help readers reflect on their own experiences and build a personal “G Code” for success. The G Code is available now on Amazon in print, digital, and audiobook formats.
