There's a relationship really between how busy we are and the quality of the communication we have with other people. There's a lot to be said for clear, direct, firm, but gentle communications. The biggest challenge often is the shortness of time and pressure decisions quickly and get things done. It was common folklore 20 or 30 years ago at Microsoft that one would say something and the response would be, that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Have you ever wanted to make sure that technology would be something that you mastered rather than it mastering you? This is part 2 of my discussion with Brad Smith, the president of Microsoft on how to make technology a tool, not a weapon.
By the end of today's episode, you'll learn the one single strength Brad observed in all three CEOs of Microsoft during his tenure – the Bill Gates years, the Ballmer years, and now with Satya Nadella. He sees a certain strength in all of them, and it's relevant for your success in every area of your life as well as how to make sure that AI and all these new technologies can work for you, not against you.
