Hit Refresh – Satya Nadella

When Satya Nadella became CEO of Microsoft in 2014, the company was widely seen as having lost its way, overshadowed by rivals in mobile and other new technologies. Under his leadership, Microsoft refocused on cloud computing and artificial intelligence, transformed its culture and regained its place among the world’s most valuable companies.

In Hit Refresh: The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft’s Soul and Imagine a Better Future for Everyone, written with Greg Shaw and Jill Tracie Nichols, Nadella tells the story of this transformation and reflects on what it means to lead change. He describes his early life in India, his move to the United States, his family and his long career at Microsoft, and explains how his personal experiences shaped his values and leadership style, especially his belief in empathy.

At the heart of the book is the effort to renew Microsoft’s culture, moving from a know-it-all mindset to a learn-it-all mindset based on curiosity, collaboration and growth. Nadella also looks ahead at technologies such as mixed reality, artificial intelligence and quantum computing, and discusses the ethical and social questions they raise, including privacy, security, trust and the impact on jobs.

Thoughtful and personal, the book combines memoir, business strategy and reflections on the future of technology and society.

Hit Refresh is an insightful read for business leaders, managers, technology professionals and anyone interested in leadership, organizational change and the forces shaping the future.
