Hit Refresh: The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft's Soul and Imagine a Better Future for Everyone by Greg Shaw, Jill Tracie Nichols, Satya Nadella
4.0
Who: should read this book? Most broadly anyone who works in technology or interested one of the 3 most valuable companies in the world. Anyone interested in the biggest and most successful turn-around of a company and its culture in modern business history. Anyone who works in B2B technology, enterprise technology, or wants inspiration in how to lead authentically or improve a culture from a bad state to a good one.
Why: This can help you reflect on purpose-driven leadership in technology. Satya Nadella wrote this book to reflect on his perspective while in the midst of a transformation. As he led a turn-around from a company lampooned as literally warring fiefdoms to rediscover its purpose and mission, and become one of the three most valuable companies in history.
How: Satya focuses on mission, empathy, empowering users and institutions and how Microsoft can bring a unique value to and through each of these.
What: This is a contemporary record of a cultural transformation as it happens by a ceo guiding its change.
4 Star reviews mean I really enjoyed this book, I will likely read it again someday. I would recommend it to many people and it changed my mind about something important.
