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.

‘Satya has charted a course for making the most of the opportunities created by technology while also facing up to the hard questions. He offers his own fascinating personal story, more literary quotations than you might expect, and even a few lessons from his beloved game of cricket’ Bill Gates

Probably wouldn’t listen to this again. Too many other good options. Might also just not be right for me.

Interesting content but just not told interestingly enough

Zumindest der Sprecher war gut, bis in Kapitel drei wirklich mühsam außer zwei Zitaten etwas merkenswertes zu finden.

By all accounts, Satya Nadella has been very successful at his mission of fixing Microsoft culture. So I had great expectations for this book, expecting his wisdom / plan that be successfully followed.

Unfortunately, my hopes have been disappointed. I'm about halfway through the book and I haven't learned anything yet. True leadership requires strong opinions - Satya seems more interested in platitudes that won't offend anyone. I'd rather spend my time elsewhere.

The narrator, at least, was excellent. They made the most they could out of this boring book.
