PERSONALITY USING THE FREUDIAN ANALYSIS:

The Freudian theory proposes how human behavior is influenced by their unconscious memories,  their thoughts, and their urges. The three aspect according to Freud are listed below:

The Id:

It is the first part of personality. ID personality trait is known for “risk takers” and Sundar Pichai is the perfect example of that. He is spontaneous with his thoughts and ideas. He also tries to solve the problems in an effective and efficient manner that’s what makes him a good leader. His charismatic, motivating and persuasive personality makes him a successful and global leader of Google.

The Ego:

This personality component operates in the conscious mind and it is responsible for dealing with reality because it acts as an intermediary between the Id and Superego.

Sundar Pichai took this role very well, being an effective global leader, he has a very strong ego which means he has a quite strong sense of awareness. His ability to recognize the surroundings and his ability to perceive own ideas and opinions, for instance how his decisions are going to influence others and what impact they will leave on the company is tremendous and it demonstrates his strong sense of awareness. He is fully aware of the real world which helps him to avoid taking ill fated decisions for his company as Ego also plays a crucial role in decision making.

The Superego:

The superego operates on the principles of morality , it also establishes a sense of social responsibility and to work in an acceptable manner. Sunder Pichai perfectly aligns with this aspect as he is a great communicator along with being a good listener. He can be seen sitting quietly in meetings and conferences where he listens to others patiently and then when everyone is done talking, it’s time for him to speak and he would suggest such great ideas that would work for everyone present there. He is also known for his humble leadership because he taught the entire world that in a world full of egoistic and self-centered leaders, how one can achieve anything by acting as a good leader instead of being a boss. Being a CEO of such an esteemed company, he genuinely cares about people whom he works with, another reason he is admired by everyone.

PERSONALITY USING THE NEO-FREUDIAN ANALYSIS: 

Alfred Adler:

Adler suggests the idea of inferiority and superiority complexes. His theory proposes individuals are born with inferiority complexes and he believes humans do have the tendency to overcome it.

As Sundar Pichai himself comes from a middle class household in Madras, India. He used to be shy and he is extremely introverted. His desire to do something extraordinary and become a global leader gives birth to a superiority complex in him. He joined Google as a Group product manager in 2004 but his exceptional tech knowledge, creative ideas and his vision makes him a global leader today.

PERSONALITY USING THE TRAIT THEORY:

It is an approach to study human personality using the actual traits.

Sundar Pichai personality traits are listed below:

Participative leadership:

Unlike following the outdated leadership style where decisions are made by the leader himself and everyone has to follow them. He follows a democratic or collaborative style of leadership in which everyone’s opinion, ideas are heard and people feel like they matter. This leadership also has effective communication because they are given a chance to speak.

Good listener:

It is extremely important for a leader to be a good listener. He let others speak and listen to their ideas and beliefs patiently. Being a global leader he knows his responsibilities well and behaves accordingly.

Open-mindedness:

Another important trait of a successful leader is open-mindedness which simply means to  respect others’ opinions and he is always open to new ideas and beliefs which eventually helps in enhancing and establishing relationships.

Hard work:

There is no shortcut for success and Pichai knows this well. His dedication, vision along with the hard work made him one of the most successful CEOs of all time.
