MAIN BODY
Case study review:
Sunder Pinchai's skills and behaviours-
For this purpose Covey's 7 Habits framework is being applied- (Roorda, 2019)

1) Define, document and prioritize success- Sunder Pichai is one of the most successful leader in
modern form of business, he is CEO of Google and Alphabet, under his leadership the entity is
getting giant texture across the world, they are enhancing their roots in IT business. Sunder
Pichai is having great professional competence too. His knowledge of modern technology and its
impacts on lives, business, economy etc. is superb. He is master of business so understand the
prevailing circumstances, this aids him to make countering decisions and paving way for
organizational growth. His skills and behaviour are guided by the professional competence
(Leading In, 2018)
2) Systematically create Win-Win procurements- Ability of making fast and appropriate
decisions, are one of the major skills of the man, he is known for his well articulated decisions.
In the year 2008 when google presented owns browser Chrome, that time behind this story the
writer was Pichai, it depicts his capability of making furious decisions.
3) Systematically make lemonade form lemons- Sunder Pichai has made enormous growth in his
team, he is one of the most successful individual in the google team, perhaps after Serge Brin
and Larry page so it can be deciphered that the man is getting higher chances, great opportunities
despite having a tough competition in the entity, the kay reason is his behaviour, his
professionalism, the way he uses his personal skills for betterment of professional realm.
4) Building and empower excellent project teams- He is known for being an inclusive leader, He
strongly believes that his role is just to empower his team and people working under, so can
augment their ability to achieve bigger. He pays attention to collaboration, relationship building,
understanding development, humanity and above these all, upholding the views of the team.
5) Manage stakeholder expectation by engaging them- Critical thinking is one of the most salient
skill the man possesses, he is known for his critical thinking. He is very innovative in nature but
keep critical notions always while making any contemplation. He pays attention to negatives or
darks which are associated to his new ideas. In his childhood he has been underprivileged, he got
his first mobile phone when he was sixteen, this made him think about creativity and how
something better can be fetched to this world, this is the driving feature which is helping him to
perform in vintage way (Mahmoud, Tehseen and Fuxman, 2020)
6) Organize communications- He is one of the best communicator, as it has been seen Sunder
Pichai is one of the best communicator, the way he transmits his ideas to people, to team, to
authority is phenomenon, one of the best example- when Google was alleged in Senate that time

he handled this case with his superb skills of communication, he convinced members on
innocence of his entity.
7) Don't just manage-Lead- Positive behaviour towards social, technological, political,
environmental, economic changes. Over the time Google has revealed their ability to work
across the world, it became possible due to positive leadership rather than management he
brought in the team. In various adverse circumstances he tackled situations with positive attitude,
his great level of prudence and perseverance are behind this skill. The fact can not be denied that
Sunder Pichai is having sort of personal traits which are behind his excellence performance.
He is the person with golden heart, in Covid-19 he donated 10.8 million UDS, to
purchase vaccines and for some other infrastructure related needs, In the modern corporate world
a leader is not restricted up to his organizational performance, they have to show their social
responsibility in order to convince people about their products and services (Elyta and
Darmawan, 2021)
Impact of Pichai's skills and behaviours on Google-
After taking huge responsibility to be Chief Executive Officer of the entity Sunder Pichai
has proved himself the best CEO of this time, His skills are phenomenon, and he is making the
entity thrived.
With this regard The CEO Genome Project is being applied, it is a theory which
describes impacts a CEO brings to its organization by its behaviour and skills. These are the
impacts he brought to the company:
1) Decisions making with speed and conviction- He became CEO of Google in the year 2015,
then the world has seen him making fast decisions to transform the organization. Under his
leadership the entity almost doubled its workforce to around 140000 people, and the value of
Alphabet it now got tripped. In 2018, he was warned by dozen of vice presidents, yet he did not
get bothered and took appropriate decisions to help entity blossom more. His fast decision-
making impacted the approach of Google, now they are having ethnocentric approach towards
different markets and penetrated with greater applicability. Seeing Android as roadblock in 2013
it was taken over, and developed Android One a light version (Philippidis, 2019)
2) Focus on engagement- He brought the biggest impact in the way of management, there is no
place for only decision-making but ensuring engagement of employees is another essential thing.
In the year 2018 when a controversy took place, when Dr Gebru got fired, and she alleged the AI

process and ethical issues inside the entity. That moment Mr Pichai came up he contemplated on
the petition of around 2000 employees and brought their trust back, his ability to make a
collaborative team is phenomenon (Hellman, 2018)
3) Willingness to adapt- One of the most drastic impact came into Google is their approach
towards adaptation. As Aparna Chennapragada a former Vice President about willingness of
Pichai to take hard decisions. He believes to be a coach rather than being a manager, his entire
focus in on empowering the people working with him. Google is more likely to practise radical
changes SEO is being upgraded with hyper rate, Page experience is being flourished, spam
updating, Known victim protection etc. are implemented. This shows innovative behaviour of
Sunder Pichai which is impacting the business positively. The best instance is Chrome, which is
Google's own browser, it was forged by intensive efforts of Sunder Pichai, it not only changed
the way of working but impacted business in many ways consisting profitability.
4) Tendency towards reliability- In Google there were rigours need to enhance reliability
of its services, the entity is engaged in information technology, nowadays expanding its
Artificial Intelligence programme so it was inevitable to install reliability. Sunder Pichai
is one of the most reliable person of the entity and has delivered better results too.
Internal survey conducted by Wired disclosed that around 74% Google employees are
having positive response about leadership of Sunder Pichai, so it can be cited as one of
the biggest impact he brought with his skills and behaviour in Google. In the year 2018
employee satisfaction was toppled from 64% in 2017 to 54%. It has been a severe matter
of contemplation otherwise he has performed well (Mahapatra, et al. 2022)
personal skills Appraisal
From the analysation of my personal swot analysation I come to know that I have certain skills
which deliver assistance in developing my best career path and obtain the best opportunity in
forthcoming time period. The analysation indicates that I have ability to take challenges for the
organisation and I can deal with them with the effective as well as efficient manner. Along with
that with the hesitance of my certain strength I can various strategies for the welfare of the
organization. The personal analysation indicate that I can adopt various. changes and bring
innovation in the enterprises or in my personal as well as professional life. The adoption of
changes or the plans of action is important element which I need to consider in my career path.
Along with the assistance of my strength I can improve my performance and enhance the skills

and knowledge in effective as well as efficient manner (El Miedany,2019). Furthermore I
acknowledge that my weakness will be the drawback for me and worked as the barrier if I didn't
improve them in short period of time. My weakness is the uses of excel which is the essential
element in the moder periofd of time. From the examination of my personal summarization I
identified that I need to improve my skills and knowledge regarding the uses of the excel as in
future it will deliver assistance in saving my time. With the knowledge of the skills I can collect
all the information and data and organized them in an effective manner. Apart from that my
networks are not so good, so I am unable to intersect many people and exchange the ideas and
skis that deliver support in achieving the success in career path. From the personal analysation
I determine that for lea dinging and in order perform the roles and responsibility I need to focus
on one of the major weakness which is issues in public speaking. For the better performance in
the association I need to come over the fear of public specking. From the personal analysation I
can say that further I have ability to improve my personal and professional for performing job
role and responsibility (Snowdon,2018.) .
Application of a framework of personal effectiveness
Gibbs reflective model
In order to determine my strength as well as weakness and conduct the personal analysation I
utilized the Gibbs reflective model. This is one of the beat cyclic model which involve various
stages for the personal evaluation. This model is developed by the Graham Gibbs in 1988.
Description: during the analysation of my personal effectiveness I determined my strength and
weakness which will deliver huge support in my forthcoming time. For determination I evaluate
my personal skills and bifurcated in to my power as well as area of improvement. The biggest
outcome of this situation is that I am able to acknowledge (Markkanen, and et.al 2020).
Feelings: during that time I was feeling so good and proud that I am having the capability to deal
with the challenges and capable enough to perform roles and responsibility in forthcoming time.
Basically the feeling were nostalgic as I also determine the area on which I should worked and
that can barrier for my career path. Later on I realised that I should adopt the changes and
guidance delivered by the teacher, student
Evaluation: from the analysation I learned various things. For instance for being the valuable
person and effective employees I need to become the risk taker who can represent the association
in marketplace. Apart from that the process of analysation is too good as I track my own

performance due to which I am able to identify that where I am making the mistake and what
should I do in order to improve them. apart from that is was quite difficult to bifurcate my skills
and determine where I went wrong but it is effective for me. In order to deal with this situation
my friends and family members deliver huge contribution in the personal evaluation process. I
come to know that I can not adopt the things easily and having fear of public specking which is
worst part of me (Voronina, Kungurova. and Slizkova 2018) .
Analysation: the analysation make sense in my career growth as it specify the the strength
and my weakness in a clear manner. from the analysation I can say that I am risk taker and
weakness is that I am not able speck properly in from of the people. apart from that I don’t have
much network and lack of excel skills and knowledge.
Conclusion: from the analysation of it is concluded that I have power to improve my
employability and having certain areas on which I should work on it for dealing with the
forthcoming challenges. along with that it mentioned that I need to expend my networks and
improve my confidence.
Action plan:
Skills Strategy Resources Time duration
Networking Interaction, communication,
coordination
People, positive
environment

confidence Reading, knowledge and

3 week
Impact of weakness on employability
The weakness of mine will affect the employability badly. my concluded weakness worked as
the barrier in performing the job role and responsibility in effective as well as efficient manner.
for performing the task or the employee should be confidence and should be ready every time for
representing the association in the variety of the people. but currently i am having weakness in
which i cannot interact with the people or speak in front of them. do this weakness i am not able
to deliver my point of view and exchange the ideas with the people. for performing the task in
adequate manner for the employees it is important to discuss the skills and knowledge with the
others. Apart from that i am having lack of excel skills due to which i am not able to analyses the
result and form the decision for the welfare of the company (Jha, S2018).

Due to that i face difficulty in analysing the actual information or data from the excel. Along
with that i am not having good networking. Lack of networking power leads to less awareness
among the people. due to lack of interwork i am not able to understand the taste and preferences
of the consumer and able to develop my personality with different skills and knowledge. Each
and every individual person has their own skills and knowledge. Due to my weakness I am not
able to accomplish mu personal as well as professional goals in an appropriate manner. apart
from that due to weakness it will be hard for me to get promoted and enhance the career growth.
Learning Method discussion
