Great leaders are not always
in the spotlight; they are
often the ones making sure
the lights stay on.

Great leaders are not always
in the spotlight; they are
often the ones making sure
the lights stay on.

Editor's
Perspective
here are moments in history
T
when ambition seems to stretch
beyond boundaries and
achievement feels larger than life. 2025
is such a year. It is a year where
visionaries transform bold ideas into
enterprises that shape economies and
touch lives. It is a year when resilience,
courage, and imagination combine to
turn challenges into stepping stones and
dreams into milestones. Business icons
are not just leaders of companies; they
are storytellers of progress, rewriting
what success looks like for a generation
that demands both excellence and
responsibility.
With this edition, Business Icons of The Year
2025, we bring together extraordinary
individuals whose influence extends far
beyond boardrooms. They represent diverse
industries, backgrounds, and philosophies,
yet they share one quality: the ability to lead
with purpose and to inspire with results.
Their journeys capture the very essence of
leadership today, where intellect meets
empathy, and innovation is matched by
integrity.
The motive behind this edition is not merely
to celebrate achievements but to reflect on
the values that define them. Each profile is a
reminder that true leadership is measured not
only by profit or scale but also by the ability
to create impact, inspire people, and leave a
legacy of progress. By spotlighting these
figures, we aim to provide readers with
insights, lessons, and motivation to push
their own boundaries and reimagine what is
possible.
Looking ahead, the future belongs to those
who dare to lead differently. The business
icons of tomorrow will be those who
embrace sustainability, harness technology
with wisdom, and cultivate human potential
with care. If the stories in this edition prove
anything, it is that greatness is not an
accident but a conscious choice. May these
leaders spark new ideas and encourage every
reader to step boldly toward a future that is
waiting to be shaped.

lectricity is the lifeblood of
E
modern industry, yet when its
flow is unstable, it can quickly
become a source of disruption rather
than progress. Factories stall mid-
production. Sensitive equipment
overheats or fails without warning.
Energy bills soar as inefficiencies eat
away at profitability. For many
businesses, unreliable power quality
has long been accepted as an inevitable
burden that quietly erodes growth and
innovation. The hidden costs are
immense, draining not only resources
but also the confidence of industries
that rely on consistency to thrive.
Against this backdrop, Rajeev
Ranjan, Founder of ACTIVESINE
ELECTRICALS, has chosen to see
possibilities where others see
limitations. Under his leadership,
ACTIVESINE has become
synonymous with smart solutions that
stabilize power, reduce waste, and
empower industries to operate with
confidence at the highest efficiency of
Production by Improving Power Factor
and eliminating harmonics. Through
innovation, global collaborations, and a
commitment to sustainability, Rajeev
and his team are proving that power
quality is not just a technical necessity
but a strategic advantage that can shape
the future of growth.
Illuminating a Future of Resilient
Energy
Rajeev's career in the power quality
and energy solutions industry began
more than one and half decade ago,
and over time, it has grown into a story
defined by vision, resilience, and
impact. From the very beginning, he
was struck by the persistent challenges
that industries faced; energy wastage,
unreliable systems, frequent
disruptions, and the heavy costs
associated with poor power quality. For
Rajeev takes a deliberate approach to
leadership. He invests time in setting
the company's direction, defining long-
term objectives, and ensuring
alignment across teams. At the same
time, he values the importance of
delegation, entrusting his colleagues
with responsibility and giving them
ownership of their roles. Regular
reviews, open lines of communication,
and constructive feedback loops keep
him connected to progress without
stifling creativity. This trust-based
system allows him to remain focused
on strategy while still being able to
step in and guide critical operations
when circumstances demand it. His
style demonstrates that true leadership
lies not in control but in enabling
others to rise.
Lessons Learned Along the Way
Over more than Decade in the industry,
Rajeev has gathered a rich set of
lessons that shape both his professional
approach and personal philosophy. One
of the most important has been
adaptability. In a sector where
technologies evolve rapidly and client
expectations change constantly; he has
learned that rigidity is a recipe for
irrelevance. Staying curious, staying
flexible, and being willing to learn
from new tools and ideas has been vital
to his growth.
Another lesson that Rajeev emphasizes
is the importance of building genuine,
long-term client relationships. In his
view, no amount of technical expertise
can replace the trust and loyalty that
come from truly understanding a
client's needs and consistently
delivering value. He also highlights the
necessity of embracing change rather
than resisting it. To him, innovation is
not optional; it is the lifeblood of the
energy solutions industry.
many, these problems seemed like an
unavoidable burden, a cost of doing
business in complex environments.
Rajeev, however, saw them differently.
To him, every inefficiency represented
not just a hurdle but an opportunity to
create meaningful, lasting change.
As the energy sector began to evolve,
new technologies emerged, opening
fresh possibilities for problem-solving.
Rajeev recognized early that he could
make a significant difference by
introducing solutions that improved
energy efficiency, optimized
performance, and allowed businesses
to operate more sustainably. This
realization became a driving force for
his career and continues to fuel his
passion. What sets Rajeev apart is that
his journey was never motivated solely
by commercial ambition; it has always
been rooted in purpose: the belief that
solving power quality challenges can
improve businesses, communities, and
the environment at large.Thats where
he founded and started company call
ACTIVESINE ELCTRICALS INDIA
PVT LTD where He manufacture
product like APFC Panel , Active
Harmonic Filter, Static VAR Generator
with Modern technology and high
efficiency product.
Holding the Horizon While
Nurturing the Ground
In his role as the Managing Director
Electricals, Rajeev faces the unique
challenge of balancing strategic
leadership with operational
engagement. He has mastered the
delicate art of focusing on the bigger
picture while staying closely connected
to the day-to-day realities of his
business. For him, leadership is not
about micromanaging every task or
dictating outcomes; it is about creating
clarity of vision and then empowering
others to thrive within it.

beginning.
"The next frontier of energy isn't just
about generation or storage; it's about
delivering power with precision,
quality, and intelligence. That's the
future we're building at Activesine."
A Challenge that Sparked

the team designed and implemented
adaptive filters capable of adjusting to
fluctuating loads. The outcome was
transformative: stable power quality,
prevention of overheating and
equipment damage, improved uptime,
and measurable cost savings. For
Rajeev, this project was more than a
technical success; it was a testament to
how persistence, teamwork, and
innovative thinking can overcome even
the most daunting challenges.
Building Relationships that Last
For Rajeev, client relationships are at
the heart of ACTIVESINE's success.
He sees every engagement not as a
transaction but as the beginning of a
long-term partnership built on trust and
shared goals. His philosophy begins
with understanding; listening deeply to
clients, identifying their unique
challenges, and tailoring solutions that
address their specific contexts.
He places great emphasis on
exceptional service, ensuring that
clients feel supported throughout the
process and beyond. Regular follow-
ups, proactive check-ins, and
transparent communication are integral
to his approach. Rajeev believes that
clients return not only for the solutions
offered but for the confidence they feel
in ACTIVESINE's commitment. By
consistently delivering reliability and
trust, he ensures that the company is
seen not just as a supplier but as a
strategic partner invested in its clients'
growth.
Energy as the Backbone of Growth
Rajeev is deeply optimistic about the
role of power quality solutions in
India's future. As industries and

icromanagement has long been
M
regarded as one of the most
common pitfalls in leadership. It
is rooted in a desire for control and an
instinct to safeguard results. However, in
today's dynamic business environment,
micromanagement does more harm than
good. It can stifle creativity, reduce trust, and
make team members feel undervalued. As
organizations adapt to hybrid work models,
shifting employee expectations, and rapid
technological change, leadership requires a
very different approach. Leaders who move
beyond micromanagement and cultivate
ownership and accountability in their teams
create healthier workplaces and stronger
outcomes.
The Cost of Micromanagement
Micromanagement is often described as the
slow erosion of trust between leaders and
their teams. Employees who feel constantly
watched are less motivated to think
independently. Instead of solving problems,
they may begin to wait for instructions. This
delays innovation and creates bottlenecks in
decision-making. Over time,
micromanagement leads to burnout for both
leaders and employees. Leaders spend their
time on tasks that should be delegated, while
team members feel disengaged and
untrusted.
In addition, micromanagement weakens
accountability. When employees believe
their work will be rechecked, corrected, or
even redone by their manager, they often
stop taking full responsibility. Mistakes are
hidden instead of addressed, and
opportunities for learning are lost.
Ultimately, an organization driven by
micromanagement becomes slow, rigid,
and less competitive.
Shifting Toward Trust
The first step in moving beyond
micromanagement is building trust. Trust
is not given automatically but is earned
through consistent actions and clear
communication. Leaders can demonstrate
trust by setting expectations clearly and
then allowing team members the freedom
to decide how best to achieve results.
When leaders focus on outcomes rather
than processes, they show confidence in
their teams' abilities. For example, instead
of dictating every step in a project, a leader
can clarify the goals, define the metrics for
success, and then step back. This
empowers employees to take initiative,
experiment, and develop problem-solving
skills. Over time, trust becomes a cycle.
Leaders trust employees with
responsibility, and employees in turn
deliver quality work that reinforces that
trust.
Encouraging Ownership
Ownership goes beyond completing assigned
tasks. It is about feeling genuinely invested in the
success of a project or an organization. Leaders
can inspire ownership by connecting daily work to
the broader mission of the company. When
employees understand how their contributions
make a difference, they develop a stronger sense
of pride in their work.
Ownership also grows when employees are
invited to participate in decision-making. Leaders
who ask for input and consider diverse
perspectives send a message that every voice
matters. This inclusion helps employees feel
valued and gives them a deeper stake in the
results. In many cases, the people closest to the
work can see challenges and opportunities that
leaders might overlook. By listening and
incorporating team insights, leaders strengthen
both engagement and effectiveness.
Building Accountability
While ownership inspires commitment,
accountability ensures follow-through. Leaders
can foster accountability without resorting to
micromanagement by setting up systems of
transparency and mutual responsibility. Regular
check-ins, team updates, and shared progress
reports allow everyone to see how the group is
moving forward.
Accountability is not about blame. It is about
clarity. Each team member should know what is
expected, what resources are available, and when
results are due. When expectations are
transparent, people can measure their own
progress and hold themselves accountable.
Leaders should also lead by example. When
managers take responsibility for their decisions
and acknowledge mistakes openly, they model
accountability for the entire team.
The Role of Feedback
Feedback plays a crucial role in this transition.
Constructive feedback helps employees improve
without feeling restricted. Positive feedback
reinforces desired behaviors and boosts
confidence. Leaders who provide timely, specific,
and respectful feedback build an environment
where learning is continuous.
Feedback also creates a dialogue rather than a
directive. When leaders encourage employees to
share their own perspectives, it transforms
performance conversations into opportunities for
growth. Instead of waiting for a manager to point
out flaws, team members learn to reflect on their
own work and take initiative in developing
solutions.
Empowering Through Autonomy
Modern teams thrive on autonomy. Autonomy
does not mean a lack of structure but rather the
freedom to use individual strengths within clear
boundaries. Leaders can empower teams by
giving them authority to make decisions in their
areas of responsibility. This creates a sense of
ownership and makes employees more
accountable for outcomes.
Autonomy also increases motivation. People are
more engaged when they feel trusted to make
meaningful contributions. For leaders, this shift
requires letting go of the need to control every
detail and focusing instead on enabling success.
The role of a leader becomes one of guidance,
support, and vision rather than surveillance.
Conclusion
Leadership in today's workplace is about moving
beyond outdated practices like
micromanagement. Teams flourish when they are
trusted, empowered, and held accountable in
ways that encourage growth rather than fear. By
cultivating trust, inspiring ownership, and
reinforcing accountability, leaders create
environments where employees feel valued and
motivated to excel.
The most successful leaders of modern teams are
not those who control every step but those who
inspire individuals to take responsibility,
innovate, and work toward shared goals. Beyond
micromanagement lies a leadership style that
respects people, fosters resilience, and unlocks
the true potential of teams. BM

make team members feel undervalued. As
organizations adapt to hybrid work models,
shifting employee expectations, and rapid
technological change, leadership requires a
very different approach. Leaders who move
beyond micromanagement and cultivate
ownership and accountability in their teams
create healthier workplaces and stronger
outcomes.
The Cost of Micromanagement
Micromanagement is often described as the
slow erosion of trust between leaders and
their teams. Employees who feel constantly
watched are less motivated to think
independently. Instead of solving problems,
they may begin to wait for instructions. This
delays innovation and creates bottlenecks in
decision-making. Over time,
micromanagement leads to burnout for both
leaders and employees. Leaders spend their
time on tasks that should be delegated, while
team members feel disengaged and
untrusted.
In addition, micromanagement weakens
accountability. When employees believe
their work will be rechecked, corrected, or
even redone by their manager, they often
stop taking full responsibility. Mistakes are
hidden instead of addressed, and
opportunities for learning are lost.
Ultimately, an organization driven by
micromanagement becomes slow, rigid,
and less competitive.
Shifting Toward Trust
The first step in moving beyond
micromanagement is building trust. Trust
is not given automatically but is earned
through consistent actions and clear
communication. Leaders can demonstrate
trust by setting expectations clearly and
then allowing team members the freedom
to decide how best to achieve results.
When leaders focus on outcomes rather
than processes, they show confidence in
their teams' abilities. For example, instead
of dictating every step in a project, a leader
can clarify the goals, define the metrics for
success, and then step back. This
empowers employees to take initiative,
experiment, and develop problem-solving
skills. Over time, trust becomes a cycle.
Leaders trust employees with
responsibility, and employees in turn
deliver quality work that reinforces that
trust.
Encouraging Ownership
Ownership goes beyond completing assigned
tasks. It is about feeling genuinely invested in the
success of a project or an organization. Leaders
can inspire ownership by connecting daily work to
the broader mission of the company. When
employees understand how their contributions
make a difference, they develop a stronger sense
of pride in their work.
Ownership also grows when employees are
invited to participate in decision-making. Leaders
who ask for input and consider diverse
perspectives send a message that every voice
matters. This inclusion helps employees feel
valued and gives them a deeper stake in the
results. In many cases, the people closest to the
work can see challenges and opportunities that
leaders might overlook. By listening and
incorporating team insights, leaders strengthen
both engagement and effectiveness.
Building Accountability
While ownership inspires commitment,
accountability ensures follow-through. Leaders
can foster accountability without resorting to
micromanagement by setting up systems of
transparency and mutual responsibility. Regular
check-ins, team updates, and shared progress
reports allow everyone to see how the group is
moving forward.
Accountability is not about blame. It is about
clarity. Each team member should know what is
expected, what resources are available, and when
results are due. When expectations are
transparent, people can measure their own
progress and hold themselves accountable.
Leaders should also lead by example. When
managers take responsibility for their decisions
and acknowledge mistakes openly, they model
accountability for the entire team.
The Role of Feedback
Feedback plays a crucial role in this transition.
Constructive feedback helps employees improve
without feeling restricted. Positive feedback
reinforces desired behaviors and boosts
confidence. Leaders who provide timely, specific,
and respectful feedback build an environment
where learning is continuous.
Feedback also creates a dialogue rather than a
directive. When leaders encourage employees to
share their own perspectives, it transforms
performance conversations into opportunities for
growth. Instead of waiting for a manager to point
out flaws, team members learn to reflect on their
own work and take initiative in developing
solutions.
Empowering Through Autonomy
Modern teams thrive on autonomy. Autonomy
does not mean a lack of structure but rather the
freedom to use individual strengths within clear
boundaries. Leaders can empower teams by
giving them authority to make decisions in their
areas of responsibility. This creates a sense of
ownership and makes employees more
accountable for outcomes.
Autonomy also increases motivation. People are
more engaged when they feel trusted to make
meaningful contributions. For leaders, this shift
requires letting go of the need to control every
detail and focusing instead on enabling success.
The role of a leader becomes one of guidance,
support, and vision rather than surveillance.
Conclusion
Leadership in today's workplace is about moving
beyond outdated practices like
micromanagement. Teams flourish when they are
trusted, empowered, and held accountable in
ways that encourage growth rather than fear. By
cultivating trust, inspiring ownership, and
reinforcing accountability, leaders create
environments where employees feel valued and
motivated to excel.
The most successful leaders of modern teams are
not those who control every step but those who
inspire individuals to take responsibility,
innovate, and work toward shared goals. Beyond
micromanagement lies a leadership style that
respects people, fosters resilience, and unlocks
the true potential of teams. BM

Coaching vs. Managing
www.businessmindsmedia.in028 www.businessmindsmedia.in029
he workplace is changing at a
T
rapid pace. Teams today are
more diverse, more flexible,
and more driven by purpose than ever
before. With hybrid models, cross-
functional projects, and generational
shifts shaping the way organizations
operate, leadership styles are also
evolving. Traditional management,
which focuses on planning, organizing,
and controlling, is now being compared
to coaching, a style that emphasizes
guidance, development, and
empowerment. Understanding the
difference between coaching and
managing, and recognizing which
approach works best for today's teams,
is critical for leaders who want to
inspire both performance and
engagement.
What It Means to Manage
Management has always been essential
in organizations. A manager sets goals,
ensures resources are allocated properly,
monitors progress, and keeps operations
aligned with strategy. Effective
management creates structure and
ensures that deadlines and targets are
met. Without clear management, chaos
can emerge, and teams may lose sight of
priorities.
However, the traditional model of
management has often been criticized
for being too rigid. It can sometimes
focus more on compliance than
creativity. When leaders are primarily
concerned with instructions, checklists,
and reporting, employees may feel like
cogs in a machine rather than
contributors to a meaningful mission.
Although management is still important,
by itself it is no longer sufficient for the
demands of modern workplaces.
What It Means to Coach
Coaching, in contrast, is about
unlocking potential. A coaching leader
does not only tell people what to do.
Instead, they ask powerful questions,
provide feedback, and encourage team
members to discover their own
solutions. Coaching is less about
authority and more about partnership. It
is based on the belief that people
perform at their best when they are
supported, trusted, and guided rather
than simply directed.
In a coaching culture, mistakes are not
punished but seen as opportunities for
learning. Feedback is continuous and
constructive. Leaders focus on building
confidence, strengthening skills, and
connecting individual goals to the larger
vision of the organization. This
approach creates not only better results
but also more engaged and resilient
teams.

Why the Difference Matters Today
The shift toward coaching is closely
tied to the changing expectations of the
workforce. Younger generations value
autonomy, purpose, and growth. They
want leaders who listen, mentor, and
help them progress in their careers. At
the same time, hybrid and remote work
require leaders to build trust and
maintain motivation without constant
oversight. Managing in the old style of
command and control simply does not
work in this context.
Coaching responds to these needs by
empowering people to take
responsibility for their work. Rather
than being told exactly how to perform
a task, employees learn to think
critically and make decisions. This not
only strengthens problem-solving skills
but also builds confidence and loyalty.
In today's competitive talent market,
organizations that nurture their people
through coaching are more likely to
attract and retain top performers.
Balancing Coaching and Managing
Although coaching is powerful,
management still has an important role.
A purely coaching approach without
structure can create confusion. Teams
need clarity about goals, deadlines, and
responsibilities. Leaders must be able
to provide direction, measure progress,
and ensure accountability.
The most effective leaders do not
choose one approach over the other but
integrate both. They manage when
structure is necessary and coach when
growth is required. For example,
setting quarterly objectives may call
for a management approach to ensure
alignment and discipline, while helping
an employee develop leadership skills
may require coaching. The art lies in
knowing when to shift between the

leaders will know how to manage
performance while also inspiring
growth. They will balance structure

with empathy. In this balance lies the
key to thriving in a complex and fast-
changing world.
Conclusion
The debate between coaching and
managing is not about choosing one
and abandoning the other. Both
approaches are valuable, but today's
teams need more than just
management. They need leaders who
can inspire, guide, and develop them.
Coaching builds the trust, confidence,
and resilience that modern
organizations require, while

The most effective leaders of today are
those who can wear both hats with

with coaching, leaders can create teams
that are both disciplined and
empowered, both accountable and
inspired. That combination is what
works best for today's teams.
Practical Ways to Apply Coaching
and Managing
Leaders who want to embrace both
approaches can start with a few simple
practices.
First, set clear expectations. This is
management at its best. A team cannot
succeed if it does not know what
success looks like. Clear goals, defined
responsibilities, and transparent
timelines provide the structure that
allows creativity to flourish.
Second, use one-on-one conversations
as coaching opportunities. Instead of
simply asking for status updates,
leaders can ask questions such as,
"What challenges are you facing?" or
"What support would help you achieve
your goal?" This encourages
employees to think more deeply and
take ownership of their performance.
Third, provide regular feedback.
Feedback is not just about pointing out
mistakes. It is also about recognizing
achievements and reinforcing positive
behaviors. Constructive feedback helps
employees improve, while positive
reinforcement strengthens morale.
Finally, model accountability. Leaders
who openly take responsibility for their
own decisions and actions show their
teams that accountability is a shared
value. This blends the structure of
management with the trust of coaching.
The Future of Leadership
As work continues to evolve, the future
of leadership will likely be a blend of
coaching and managing, with greater
emphasis on coaching. Technology can
automate many of the monitoring and
tracking tasks that managers once
handled, but human connection and
development cannot be automated.
