About this listen

The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft’s Soul and Imagine a Better Future for Everyone

Microsoft’s CEO tells the inside story of the company’s continuing transformation, while tracing his own journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant changes of the digital era.

LONGLISTED FOR THE FT & MCKINSEY BUSINESS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD

Satya Nadella grew up in India, studied in the US and went on to become Microsoft’s third CEO after Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer. In Hit Refresh he offers a unique view of the transformation happening inside one of the world’s most iconic tech companies, and the arrival of the most exciting and disruptive wave of technology humankind has experienced – including artificial intelligence, mixed reality, and quantum computing.

Nadella examines how people, organisations and societies can and must transform – ‘hit refresh’ – in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, and continued relevance and renewal. Yet at its core, this book is about humans, and how one of our essential qualities – empathy – will become ever more valuable in a world where technological advancement will alter the status quo as never before.

loved the initial principles but got bogged down in tech. Guiding principles about creating organisational change were great but a little too much tech future chat for my liking

promising start...

Starts well but then the intriguing personal story at the beginning evolves into an explanation of what and why of Microsoft. Almost an explanation as to why we slacked off but now we are getting back on track so don t worry..

Starts really well but then

Some great insights to how Microsoft has been transformed under the new CEO. it's worth also reading the 5 dysfunctions of a team, to understand what was being explained about working closer together.
The only negative is the later chapters turn into an advert rather than a vision of the future.

Good insight to the new Microsoft.
