leadership there are various offerings that are being launched (Curatman and Suroso, 2021). As

2

personality. As he can foresee its positive strategies that can also make him more known as well
as famous. Also with that company has performed with an advantage of their construction
measure (Barda et al. 2021). As some of the skills as well as behavioral traits that are possessed
by Sundar Pichai are as follows:
Communication skills: As Sundar Pichai is mostly said to be well famous for his communication
abilities through its audiences with whom he interacts. As this entrepreneur personality once said
that he was a mostly shy kid when he was mostly younger. He mostly keeps his faith in having
efficient communication which is only carried to have success in its corporate business world.
Teamwork: As Sundar Pichai always focuses on having their faith in performing duties in a
team. This business leader believes that there is only considered as one method to have which is
carrying out work in a team. This business leader mostly keeps its faith that when operations are
performed in a team it will become easy to avail creative as well as innovative ideas from
various operations which are performed in a team with various minds as well as accomplishment
of planned objectives within a particular point of time (Zhao et al. 2021).
Impact of Sundar Pichai skills and behavior on Google:
Pichai's ability to set himself apart from the competition is based on his hard and soft attributes.
Hard skills are the technical abilities required to operate a technology firm. Pichai was enthralled
by technology and eager to acquire new abilities. Pichai developed his technical talents and
learned other computer skills when he first started working at Google. The soft talents that Pichai
possesses are also crucial to his success (Lina, 2021). The value of candidates' soft skills should
continue to rise in the future. Emotional intelligence, analytic thinking, and situational judgment
are examples of soft skills that assist firms to boost cooperation and innovation while also
acquiring new chances.
Pichai's approach to problems displays his exceptional soft skills, such as emotional intelligence
and communication ability. Team Players: Pichai's leadership style focuses on reducing barriers
and limits to enable employees to achieve their goals (Vigersky et al.2021). Pichai ensures the
company's success through promoting personal development and collaboration. Pichai places a
great priority on collaboration and believes that creating a company where employees truly want
to work together is vital. Pichai also sought to establish a collaborative environment since
"everything arises from individuals working together," as one puts it.

Pichai may want to consider speeding up the decision-making process. According to a case
study, four important qualities for a CEO's success are quick decision making, addressing the
impact, proactive adaptability, and rapid execution. Pichai has done a fantastic job honing his
engagement and adaptability skills. Pichai is described as attentive and supportive by members
of the Pichai community, for example. The explanation demonstrates Pichai's positive impact on
the team. Other sources, on the other hand, indicate that Pichai is extremely cautious and takes
an excessive amount of time to make decisions. Pichai isn't making tiny decisions, but rather
major ones that might affect the entire firm, according to logic (Cevik Durmaz et al.2021).
Delays in making decisions, on the other hand, can lead to communication problems as well as
slowed growth and development.
Pichai has built a strong sense of drive and the image of a successful entrepreneur, as previously
said. Pichai's message to the audience has been that he believes in hands-on learning, teamwork,
and innovation. Internal communication breakdowns are one of the reasons it's difficult to
provide feedback on Google. Google should devise a more efficient method of obtaining useful
feedback from executives. Pichai has risen to prominence as a strong leader through encouraging
collaboration and developing a collaborative culture, with a focus on empowering and trusting
people. Pichai's management style has been regarded as balanced and enthusiastic, and Pichai
values healthy rivalry among employees (Kubin et al. 2021). Pichai's humility shines through in
speeches, and Pichai's willingness to admit defeat in the pursuit of future improvements defines
Pichai as a remarkable leader.
Because of Pichai's attention to detail, he is also a transformative leader. The ability to venture
out of their comfort zone for outcomes, task prioritization, business vision, outstanding
communication, and stress management have all improved. Pichai thrives as a leader at leading
teams, encouraging people to act, and pushing them to work together to achieve common goals.
Because Pichai is continuously seeking to appreciate the need for teamwork while working in a
group situation, they believe this exemplifies their talents (Lejeune et al.2021). On the other
hand, one of the leadership flaws is the inability to encourage others and successfully question
the process. Pichai will have to be more active in the future, set an example, and inspire
employees since these are critical qualities for strong leaders. Pichai is also more flexible to
change and prepared to take risks and question the current quo when necessary.

Self-reflection statement.
As in order to perform a self-evaluation of individuals, it is essential to analyze proper strengths
as well as weaknesses of individuals so that an appropriate action plan can be used in order to
offer personal effectiveness as well as having effective experimental learning. As for providing
Self Evaluation, Gibbs's reflection model can be performed as by implementing this evaluation
model individuals can be capable to evaluate their skills along with its qualities that can prove to
be beneficial for them in order to have a professional working environment and have
professional development. As reflection towards self-evaluation is considered as follows:
 Description: This component enables me to comprehend the concept of individual
effectiveness, which is critical not only for generating effective career possibilities for
professional development but also for creating successful career prospects for facing
growth (Guttman Krader, 2021). I recognized that in order to take advantage of numerous
employment chances on the market, I must possess specific abilities and attributes, as
well as the ability to advance professionally while maintaining a smooth career path. It
allows me to build my personality while also allowing me to grow. I used a case study by
Google CEO Sundar Pichai to investigate and grasp the ideas of dynamic and
experimental learning. I also examined his talents and attributes in this case study and
determined that he was a good personal and successful team building.
 Feelings: This feature helped me understand how I felt about my subject. I had never
heard of the concept of personal effectiveness before, and I had no interest in learning
more about it (Tomassini, 2021). When I first started researching this topic, I found it
fascinating and easy to appreciate the importance of personal effectiveness. I developed a
broad knowledge foundation, strengthened my personality, seized numerous
opportunities for advancement, and offered myself the opportunity to better my
professional development by doing self-assessment analysis.
 Analysis: I examined my strengths and weaknesses in terms of the traits and abilities I
already have versus the qualities and skills I'll need to keep my job. Based on this study, I

6
Personal Effectiveness Page |7

enjoy working in groups, thus my team-building abilities appear to be strong. This

enables the team to work together and achieve its objectives with a diverse set of creative
ideas. I also have strong academic skills that enable us to get a broad understanding of a
variety of concepts in business and other fields. When evaluating based on a case study
review, I will require analytical skills in my job to assess various scenarios and make
various recommendations based on the situation to address various critical difficulties.
I've done so. I have poor analytical skills, thus I need to practice often and read a variety
of literatures to improve my decision-making abilities (Bises et al. 2021). I will also need
to improve my problem-solving abilities to assist me in solving a variety of challenges in
various situations. I was able to advance professionally and emotionally thanks to my
analytical and problem-solving abilities. What matters to me is that I possess specific
skills that enable me to collaborate effectively with others, as well as creativity and team-
building abilities. This self-assessment analysis aids in the identification of my strengths
and shortcomings in terms of the skills and qualifications required for professional
advancement.
 Evaluation: Individual effectiveness and experiential learning are vital to building a
career that allows for progress, according to this aspect of the Gibbs introspective model.
I was provided with numerous improvement options for developing the personal and
professional personality by efficiently using the effectiveness of the individual.
Analytical and problem-solving skills are the most crucial components and qualities
required to deal with a variety of scenarios (Howell et al. 2021). These abilities and
personality traits will help me in advancing myself in my work. According to the case
study review, some unfavorable features should be critiqued by others, thus it is critical
that they be assessed at the appropriate time so that development difficulties can be
addressed appropriately. To do a self-assessment, I must conduct experimental learning
to discover that, in order to thrive in a highly competitive market, I must emphasize
dynamic as well as inventiveness. These exercises enable me to think in new ways. In
order to perform a self-assessment, I must do experimental learning and recognize that, in
order to thrive in a highly competitive market, I must emphasize dynamic and
inventiveness. These techniques enable me to think creatively and outside the box by

7
Personal Effectiveness Page |8

providing a practical approach for dealing with any scenario. These behavioral
characteristics and skills have enabled me to live and grow.
 Conclusion: The model eventually performs a self-assessment using its strengths and
faults as a result of this reflecting element. Based on my self-evaluation, I've decided that
individual effectiveness and experimental learning are significant variables that I and
others can use to improve my personal and professional development (Ghayeb, 2021).
There are positive and negative thoughts regarding quality and skills that need to be
checked regularly as a result of a thorough case study analysis in order to produce an
appropriate action plan to improve and effectively increase work. I concluded. These
techniques may aid in my professional development as well as the use of my current
talents to help me generate images that reflect community values. It's critical to evaluate
the abilities and attributes that help me in improving my personality and behavioral
features on a regular basis. Individual effectiveness and experimental learning are thought
to be essential aspects that might lead to facial growth and provide a variety of learning
opportunities. . This book gave me a solid foundation of information and helped me
better grasp experimental learning and the concept of personal effectiveness.
 Action Plan: Specific action plans must be implemented in order to build and improve
occupations in order to improve vital skills and attributes with successful behavioral traits
for societal advancement. Reading the literature and experiencing diverse situations can
be used to foster and improve analytical and problem-solving skills on a regular basis,
ensuring that they are effective at the proper time to maintain efficiency and effectiveness
(Glazunova et al. 2021). Making positive decisions can help me in dealing with
unpleasant situations. It can be used in conjunction with this action plan to assist identify
various current market opportunities. I should also work on my communication abilities.
This can assist me in communicating with others and interacting with them. This can be
added to my personal development because these abilities, behavioral traits, and
attributes can also assist me in coping with my personal life by completing the action
plan properly. I'm confident in my abilities. By following this precise and exact action
plan on a daily basis, it aids in the development of positive personality qualities and the
creation of positive self-images. Experiments that can help me think creatively and
according to my wants and requirements are also significant to me in developing my

8

learning. In the corporate world, experimental learning has proven to be the only way to
succeed. It was mostly focused on the development of new creative ideas, therefore I was
able to learn new skills and work methods that would help me advance professionally. By
efficiently connecting with and enhancing my teachers and friends, I will be able to learn
more effectively and improve my knowledge base when I reach the aspects of my
characteristics. I have the ability to learn. However, I've discovered that academic
aptitude alone isn't enough to improve one's personality and preserve employment
chances; practical skills are also required. Also, to broaden and produce my practical
knowledge, better shape my career, and working capabilities of mine in different aspects.
I need to harness my own efficacy in order to grow and capture effective employment
opportunities. It enables me to reach my full potential in terms of personal and professional
development. I recognized that I needed particular abilities, qualities, and behavioral attributes in
order to advance my job and achieve personal and professional growth. I've discovered that my
strengths are efficient academic ability, team building, and interpersonal skills, so I assess
communication and develop a corrective action plan that will help me grow personally and
professionally. The ability to solve problems and make decisions must be developed. To help
establish a knowledge foundation, it has been discovered that strengthening analytical and
practical skills necessitates effective communication quality. Incorporating them into my
professional development is really useful to me in terms of personal performance. Personal
effectiveness is a benefit to me in terms of maximizing my professional development potential.
It's a good idea (Sahu et al. 2021). Personal effectiveness is a benefit to me in terms of
maximizing my professional development potential. It is an excellent managerial foundation as
well as a skill introduced in terms of personal greatness. It aids in the development and
improvement of the capacity to think clearly and logically in order to apply it to commercial
concerns.
