Inspiration

In ancient mythology alchemists used a Crucible to transform metal to gold.

Leadership Guru Professor Warren Bennis used this analogy to coin the term “Crucible Experience” where an organization undergoes a life changing evolution that takes it forward to levels otherwise not reachable.

Professor Warren Bennis was a member of the team sent to Calcutta by MIT’s Sloan School of Management for setting up India’s first IIM.

Gautam’s exposure to Warren Bennis, as well as other American greats, was only through their books during his MBA days at IIMC, as the MIT team had already returned to USA.

This changed when Gautam met Warren Bennis, through his mentor Professor James O’Toole of Aspen Institute and University of Southern California. Warren Bennis then at USC, was friend, colleague and co-author with James O’Toole.

The Crucible Workshop of Anandini Foundation is inspired by Warren  Bennis, because it is a life changing evolutionary experience for an organization.

We implement the Warren Bennis “Crucible” idea of turning organizational metal to gold through Training.
