The world of work has changed over the past couple of years and so has the way companies recruit. Companies are currently holding most interviews virtually. Just like before when things were pre-pandemic you were invited to participate in an in-person (F2F) interview between you and a panel of hiring managers.
Suman was almost nervous. She did not know what to do. She spoke with her husband. He tried hard but still could not cool her down. Any major emergency? No. Suman had been invited by her Boss for an appraisal discussion at 3 p.m. on the next day. This being her first discussion, she did not know what to do. The fear of the unknown had gripped her very strongly.
Peter F Drucker once said “Leaders grow, they are not made”
Leadership today has become a very multi meaning term. Professionals from various disciplines have defined ‘Leadership’ in different ways. Paradigm shifts in the cultures of organisations and the consistent parallel and horizontal development of companies have raised the need to look at leadership in a new angle.
The interview went smoothly, your resume was impeccable and your skills match the job requirements line for line. You sent along clever thank you notes and, with a glimmer in his eye, the hiring manager said you were a top candidate for the job. So, what happened? Why haven't you heard from the potential employer for weeks?
