Satya Nadella – Hit Refresh

We know from recent history that no organisation is too big to fail. It’s easy to think though that organisations can be so big that change, at least the transformational kind, is mission impossible.
Satya Nadella has proven with Microsoft, one of the biggest companies on the planet, that this isn’t true at all. The key to success though is the recognition that culture change comes from within each of us and when we’re truly inspired by something, can see the part we can play in it, collaborate well and let go of our defensive behaviours, we are unstoppable.
In his book, Hit Refresh, Nadella discusses his journey at Microsoft and inspires us all that real change is possible, regardless of size.

In our view this is essential reading for anyone who is looking to influence human behaviour or understand their own. For those who want a quick intro, the link will take you to his TED talk.
