Description: Hit Refresh: The Quest to Rediscover Microsoft's Soul and Imagine a Better Future for Everyone by Satya Nadella, Greg Shaw "At the core, Hit Refresh, is about us humans and the unique quality we call empathy, which will become ever more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt the status quo like never before." - Satya Nadella from Hit Refresh "Satya has charted a course for making the most of the opportunities created by technology while also facing up to the hard questions." - Bill Gates from the Foreword of Hit Refresh The New York Times bestseller Hit Refresh is about individual change, about the transformation happening inside of Microsoft and the technology that will soon impact all of our lives--the arrival of the most exciting and disruptive wave of technology humankind has experienced: artificial intelligence, mixed reality, and quantum computing. Its about how people, organizations, and societies can and must transform and "hit refresh" in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, and continued relevance and renewal. Microsofts CEO tells the inside story of the companys continuing transformation, tracing his own personal journey from a childhood in India to leading some of the most significant technological changes in the digital era. Satya Nadella explores a fascinating childhood before immigrating to the U.S. and how he learned to lead along the way. He then shares his meditations as a sitting CEO--one who is mostly unknown following the brainy Bill Gates and energetic Steve Ballmer. He tells the inside story of how a company rediscovered its soul--transforming everything from culture to their fiercely competitive landscape and industry partnerships. As much a humanist as engineer and executive, Nadella concludes with his vision for the coming wave of technology and by exploring the potential impact to society and delivering call to action for world leaders. "Ideas excite me," Nadella explains. "Empathy grounds and centers me." Hit Refresh is a set of reflections, meditations, and recommendations presented as algorithms from a principled, deliberative leader searching for improvement--for himself, for a storied company, and for society. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Review Quote "In this thoughtful debut, the Indian-born Nadella tells the story of his personal life and his work as a change-making leader, and he explains the coming importance of machine intelligence. The author emerges as a modest, likable individual from an accomplished family... A valuable blueprint for techies and others in a culture-change state of mind." -- Kirkus Reviews Details ISBN0062959727 Author Greg Shaw Short Title HIT REFRESH Pages 304 Publisher HarperBusiness Language English ISBN-10 0062959727 ISBN-13 9780062959720 Format Paperback DEWEY B Subtitle The Quest to Rediscover Microsofts Soul and Imagine a Better Future for Everyone Audience General/Trade Imprint Harper Business Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2019-11-05 NZ Release Date 2019-11-05 US Release Date 2019-11-05 UK Release Date 2019-11-05 Imprint US Harper Business Publisher US HarperCollins We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
