understanding of leadership
theory and its application to a
leader
Sundar Pichai has had a number of issues throughout
his tenure as CEO of Google, most notably when
he received media attention for dismissing a
Google employee who published a manifesto
criticizing the company's diversity policy.
According to the manifesto, there is a case for
organizational inequality based on the distribution
of men's and women's preferences and skills.
Sundar Pichai is well-known for his affiliative
leadership style, which may be characterized as
putting people first.

Participative leadership:
 Sundar Pichai possesses the ability to form
collaborative relationships with others, as well as the
same conduct with his or her followers. As a leader,
his collaborative conduct and humanism aid him in
developing a participative leadership style. He always
considers their followers' opinions while making
judgments, so that effective decisions can be made
and fresh and creative ideas from followers may be
considered in the company. Sundar Pichai is able to
adopt a participatory leadership style as a result of
this.

Transformational leadership:
 Pichai's influence and attention are always focused on
helping people break out of their comfort zones and
accomplish excellent outcomes through good job
prioritisation and effective communication inside the
company. Pichai's abilities to pay close attention to
every detail, to have a clear corporate strategy, to
communicate effectively with his people, and to
manage their stress enable him become a
transformative leader. He is always encouraging his
staff to adapt to change and assisting Google in its
growth.

Cont..
 Sundar Pichai is a brilliant leader who employs a participatory leadership
style in which Sundar Pichai makes just a few key choices, all of which are
high-risk and may result in severe ramifications for the firm if made
incorrectly.
 All of the company's other choices on a variety of problems have come to a
halt. The success of Google Firm and its parent company Alphabet Inc may
be attributed to Sundar Pichai's effective problem-solving methodology.

Belbin’s Team Roles Theory
 Belbin's team roles theory identifies nine
leadership behaviour roles that must be
fulfilled by a leader in order for the
organization's goals and objectives to be
met.
 With the assistance of the figure below, you
may understand their roles. Sundar Pichai,
as a successful leader for Google workers,
fulfils all of these duties admirably.

REFLECTION
 Graham provides the Gibbs reflective cycle,
which assists an individual in documenting
their learning experience using a framework
and examining the abilities they have gained
as a result of their experience. I'll be able to
articulate the leadership styles and methods
I've learnt during the course using Gibbs'
reflection cycle. The Gibbs reflection cycle
is broken down into phases as follows:

Cont..
 Description:
 I utilized a participatory leadership style during my internship as a marketing
manager in a medium-sized retail business. I've used a transformational strategy to
make many improvements in the company's marketing process.
 In this method, I experience change management in the marketing team by
assisting a member of my team in evaluating a variety of challenges and potential
solutions so that they can adjust to organizational changes. My leadership style
and approach encourage good traits in my team members, such as the ability to
adapt to organizational changes and a sense of belonging.

Cont..
 Feeling:
 The criticism I receive from my past leadership style aids in my development as a
leader, allowing me to motivate my team members and virtually accomplish the
job. I believe that using simply transformational leadership style is insufficient,
and that a leader should be involved as well. As a consequence, I recognized that I
needed to work on improving myself as well as my leadership styles and methods.
 Evaluation
 Sundar Pichai's leadership has influenced me much in adapting his leadership
methods and traits in my life so that I may become a more successful leader. A
leadership motivation exam aids me in determining my level of desire to lead (see
appendix

Cont..
 Analysis
 I receive an assessment exam that assists me in determining that I need to improve
on various abilities in order to become a more successful leader. Although my
score of 56 indicates a strong desire to lead, I need higher exam results, which I
may get by honing specific abilities. Throughout my experience, I've discovered
that I enjoy communication skills, time management skills, and proactive abilities
on occasion
 Conclusion
 The above debate has led me to the conclusion that, while I have gained a number
of abilities as a result of my previous and current experiences, I still need to
continue to improve myself in order to become a successful leader.
