It is evident from what is occurring in our country and worldwide that we are facing a crisis in leadership.
We find ourselves at a critical time when we need leaders to be called to a higher standard of humility, honesty, decisiveness, integrity, and empathy. Yet, what we see is an inability for many in leadership positions to do just that: lead! This dilemma affects every stratum of our global society, each detail of the business, and the lives of individuals.
We're making a difference by investing in the future of leadership.
We exist to share personal stories of crucible moments and life challenges that define positive and impactful leaders. Our organization highlights these transformative and impactful narratives through various online resources, corporate learning sessions, and programs for students to encourage a higher standard of leadership in current and future generations, resulting in a better world and improved organizations.
Your employees are the human capital of your operation, and they provide the best opportunity for long-term value creation, whether that is in company profits, brand recognition, customer satisfaction or customer service. When you invest in your employees, you are also investing in the future of your organization, and that is more important today than ever before.

ABOUT
After 40 years in the fire service, nationally recognized Chief Randy Bruegman developed The Leadership Crucible Foundation to transform the outlook of future leadership and to encourage the demand for courage, empathy, and humility in such positions.
Who better to understand the need for leadership than a fire service leader? When lives are at stake, his or her organization must ‘get it right’ the first time. Americans trust their firefighters to do just that.
