If you've already decided a candidate can't do the job, why invite them to the interview? Recently, I had an interesting conversation while being assessed for a leadership role. The discussion wasn't focused on understanding my experience, approach, or how I would solve the organization's challenges.

The lessons learnt consistently by the "Phoenix - Nasarani Queen"

Let me share you one personal story where even though I thought that the process was just rigged everything worked out in the end but that doesn't mean the journey was an easy pill to swallow.

The RESILENCE OF A NASRANI

 Who is Nasrani Queen? In the aftermath of chaos, there she stands—proud, resilient, and unyielding. Each battle scar she wears as a testament to her strength, her wings once again unfurled as she ascends from the ashes. She is a Nasrani, a symbol of perseverance and faith, never to be broken by the storms that rage around her.

It is through the power of her faith that she rises above the waves of adversity, shaking off the hurtful words and doubts cast upon her.

Some may say not to step back into the same fire twice, but she knows better. Each adversity faced only serves to make her mor...
