Strategies to Avoid Talent Tragedies
Once, a lion was sleeping under a tree. Suddenly a rat
came to play there. Unaware of the danger, it climbed
on the lion’s body and started to play with the
lion’s whiskers. Soon, the lion woke up and roared
angrily, “I am the King of the Jungle, how dare
you wake me up from my sleep!” By Jayantee Mukherjee

in which he recruits.
