In today's episode, we're talking about something that leaders tell me they do when they interview a potential candidate. And let me tell you, it seems like a great idea. But in this episode, you'll be understanding why this approach is not a great approach to have in your interviews.

A lot of leaders have said to me that during an interview with a potential candidate, they like to put their candidate under pressure to see if they crack. 

On the surface this seems like a good idea. If the candidate can keep their cool while you poke at them, then, you know you're likely to have someone who can handle pressure all around, but it doesn't work in practice. And do you know the reason why? Psychological safety.
