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.

A new game needs new rules
The fixed organisation structures commonly used today were developed over 100 years ago. In our fast paced, highly unpredictable world they are likely to be working against us, slowing down and stifling innovation, just when it’s needed most. Technology advancements and globalisation have changed the game completely and so the organisational rules will also need to change.
Leaders focus too much on changing policies, and not enough on changing minds
Whilst focusing on the harder aspects of a change, such as policies, processes, facilities, technology, training etc, what organisations typically overlook or at least pay too little attention to, is the human element, i.e. what we think and feel. And yet we’re increasingly learning that it’s one of the most fundamental contributors to successful outcomes.
