Publisher's Summary

From the CEO of Microsoft, Satya Nadella, an inspiring account of the transformation of an organisation and the coming transformation of humanity.

As told by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, Hit Refresh is the story of corporate change and reinvention as well as the story of Nadella's personal journey, one that is taking place today inside a storied technology company, and one that is coming in all of our lives as intelligent machines become more ambient and more ubiquitous. It's about how people, organisations and societies can and must hit refresh - transform - in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, relevance and renewal.

At the core it's about us humans and our unique qualities, like empathy, which will become ever more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt like never before. As much a humanist as a technologist, Nadella defines his mission and that of the company he leads as empowering every person and every organisation on the planet to achieve more.

Technical insights from a visionary leader

This book is more about Satya's vision for a future world embracing technology, and how stakeholders should start taking action to enable technological growth. This is not an autobiography (the biography part is limited to the first one-third of the book). Good listen if you are into trends in technology and would like to know more of how it's going to shape the future.

Good read

A good story about how Satya changed the culture of Microsoft. You will appreciate his technology vision, not seeing it as a business, market, and profits. The Microsoft vision to democratize the technology and commitment towards addressing social problems. I truly respect the Microsoft and Bill Gates foundation for eradicating a big disease (Polio) from this world.

What an encouraging story!

I love the book and the narration. A philosopher CEO with real empathy. Empathy as the raison d'etre of one of the most successful companies in the world with the burden of successful history. What performance would you offee your audience once Elvis had left the building? Hitting Refresh, so successfully is just what Satya did. Inspiring and compelling. Learn a lot from the book. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your personal and private experiences. We are all the richer for it.

Excellent book for Executives

Satya narrated his story and situations in such a candid manner, my respect for him grew 100 fold.

Many scenarios resonated with me and Hit Refresh is truly inspiring phenomenon as retold by him.

I have bookmarked several clips and want to listen again and again.

Cheers

Exceptionally good

Exceptional insights of an amazing leader!
Strongly recommend listening.
Loved the narration as well.
Highlight was the intro narrated by Satya himself that set the tone and pitch perfectly.
