Successful leadership is the dream of all the students of leadership for which various elements including personality, skills, vision etc. are mentioned by various scholars and researchers, but what is interesting to acknowledge is that all these elements are a manifest of the moment that alter the identity of an ordinary person into a successful leader. These moments are known to be called crucible of leadership.Crucible has a strong connection to the leadership but the mystery of what shapes these crucibles is an ever going process of research and narration. The fascination with studying the recipe of crucible is built on the foundation of my own crucible of leadership that shaped my skills and vision. Considering that, I decided to explore the recipe of crucible for what is close to me and for which I have the most knowledge about, I was ascertain to produce an informative piece of document for the readers with good authenticity and reality in my work. For this purpose I chose to explore the recipe of crucible for Pakistani female leaders.In the crucible of leadership, one of the most important element that plays role is the antecedents of a life story that builds a way to crucible and successful leadership. Thus, my focus of this study was to explore and narrate such antecedents that are the prime source of crucible of leadership for successful Pakistani female leaders. In order to do so, I had to get deep knowledge of the personal life of Pakistani female leaders, which I did by studying their biographies and testimonial accounts building a theory of antecedents as recipe of crucible through the approach of grounded theory.My qualitative analysis and sound coding, suggested a theory that, the most essential antecedents that hasn’t change in generation for Pakistani female leadership are the family antecedents (education, gender equality and a strong belief on principles) and social antecedents (lack of social acceptance), participating highest in shaping the crucible. Whereas, religion is a supportive antecedent but is not significantly impacting the crucible of leadership, as is widely perceived in the world. Furthermore, I concluded my study with highlighting the factor of patriarchy and role expectancy as the major hindrance in the successful female leadership in Pakistan.

The objectives are to analyze the motivations of the faithful to be members of the CCB; as is the institutional link between the members; understand the collective demands that move in a sense of autonomy and individual empowerment; contribute to the debate on the fluid issues of the religious market. The problematization is based on the assumption that the CCB presents itself in the religious field as a locus of protection for its members. With its traditional doctrine, they believe they are free from the deception of the world's threatening reality. As a hypothesis, it is discussed about the motivation of people to follow more rigid dogmas to feel safe, in face of the multi-faceted religiosity in the contemporaneity: the thought of security versus that of freedom comes into play to direct the choices. / O objeto deste estudo é a Congregação Cristã no Brasil e sua manutenção tradicional no mercado religioso que apresenta sua expansão, seus processos dogmáticos. Os objetivos são analisar as motivações dos fiéis em ser frequentadores da Igreja CCB; como se dá o vínculo institucional entre os membros; compreender as demandas coletivas que transitam em um sentido de autonomização e empoderamento individual; contribuir com o debate sobre as questões fluídas do mercado religioso. A problematização parte do pressuposto de que a CCB se apresenta no campo religioso como lócus de proteção para seus membros. Com sua doutrina tradicional, eles acreditam estar livres do engano da realidade ameaçadora do mundo. Como hipótese, discute-se acerca da motivação de as pessoas seguirem dogmas mais rígidos para se sentirem em segurança, diante da religiosidade multifacetada na contemporaneidade: o pensamento da segurança versus o da liberdade entra em jogo para direcionar as escolhas.
