Though a bit dated book , I had fun reading Hit Refresh - Satya Nadella over the weekend . This book is a genuine attempt by Satya Nadella to share this point of view on how large corporations ( Microsoft and others) eventually gets burgeoned with its own weight and how a fresh way of thinking and rediscovering the corporate soul together gives back returns way more than any tech / financial investment could. At a personal level his love of cricket , experiences across India ( North / South ) growing up , pull and push of intellectual / spiritual parenting, Immigrating to US and experiencing capitalism and his love for family felt like I was reading my own life backwards.. Leaders like Satya rising through the rank and file of Microsoft to the top position should be a reminder to every one that Success is not overnight .. success comes to ones who are life long learners and some one who can identify his purpose greater than him/herself in the journey.. I liked his focus on empathy to customers , employees and society in general and I feel that’s a very distinctive difference leaders can bring in today’s world . He also took the topic of AI , jobs replacement and the fear factor on their face value and told us that its only through technology diffusion ( adoption) and leveraging technology in a more wholesome way to enable local entrepreneurship can we avoid the impacts .. Overall a great read and I am sure that Satya being at the helm can be the best thing that might have happened to Microsoft for many years to come.. #goodread #hitrefresh #microsoft #notabot
