The Power of Humility

The humility that Satya Nadella brought to the job was such a hundred and eighty degrees different than the prior CEO. The thoughtfulness with which he spoke about Microsoft's place in industry, place in the economy,. His role running the company was just night and day different from what we had been used to hearing from Microsoft. But perhaps the most striking thing to me was that this was a highly paid executive who was about to become even more highly paid should he drive long-term value for Microsoft and its shareholders.
