Microsoft’s Quiet Office Evolution Under Satya Nadella
Keywords:
Tags:
Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, is intervewed by Shira Ovide of the WSJ. Compared to Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer, Nadella has a quiet demeanor. Responding to a question about how he made it from heading R&D for the Bing search engine to the CEO position, he says what helped him most was working in different jobs at Microsoft with different contexts and challenges, including a mix of some where success was achieved and some in which it was much harder. The experience of people in his management team is similar. He says his sense of being an outsider while being an insider is something he always had in him, and something he now encourages as a CEO. Reading outside of work is his only rule, and this may help him maintain some distance from work to think like an outsider. His preference is literary reading not common among senior managers- T.S. Eliot's poetry. Taking some off from work for medical leave or other reasons, is something he supports, especially from his own experience needing such leave as a 29 year old at Microsoft.

The WSJ's Shira Ovide's interview with Satya Nadella of Microsoft in September 2015
09/30/2015
Nadella talks about how he sees parental leave and leave for medical issues after his own experience as a 28-29 year old employee at Microsoft. His views about the importance of family and joining children at soccer or lacrosse games, about keeping an outsider's perspective for an insider in the company, eight hours of meetings with senior managers each month, and meeting employees by walking around. the intervew ends with a reference to his only rule read stuff that is outside work, and his preference for the literary such as the poetry of T.S. Eliot, something one doesn't expect to hear from predecessors Gates and Ballmer. One wonders where does Nadella get his interest in T.S. Eliot, someone not popular in corporate boardrooms, but good for reflection and distancing from the details of everyday work.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
