| | FEBRUARY 20264Renowned American author and speaker, John Maxwell once said, "The single biggest way to impact an organization is to focus on leadership development. There is almost no limit to the potential of an organization that recruits good people, raises them up as leaders and continually develops them." The thought perfectly encapsulates the key aspects of building a successful organization. It is said that a team is only as strong as its weakest member. A good leader is one who focuses on building influence, people development, and sustainable growth. In its truest sense, the essence of sound leadership is influence with purpose. At its core, leadership is not about title, authority, or control; rather, it is about the ability to move people toward a shared goal while elevating them in the process. In a business context, leadership means creating direction, driving performance, and developing people all at the same time. It is not just about hitting targets, but about building something sustainable and enduring. Ultimately, business leadership is the integration of vision, execution, people development, and accountability.We feature shining exemplars of such leadership in the current edition of CEOInsights magazine. These companies are leaders in their respective industries and are redefining their sectors brilliantly. One such leader is Ashish C Sharma, Chief Strategy Officer at Kumari Fine Jewellery. Focused on building resilient, consumer centric business ecosystems where digital intelligence and AI enhance human judgment, Ashish combines strategic insight with practical leadership, guiding teams through complexity and fostering consistent, informed decision making across high consideration categories.We also feature an interaction with Anurag Puri, Director, Shram Engineering Works. He is driving a legacy manufacturing enterprise toward global growth through technology and people-centric leadership. An alumnus of Vellore Institute of Technology, his formative years were marked by hands-on leadership through major cultural and technical festivals and representing VIT internationally with Team Ojas at the Formula Student competition at Silverstone Circuit.Read more about these leaders and their insights in the current edition of CEOInsights magazine.Do let us know your thoughts.
