Episode 1. Satya Nadella on “Confession”
Dear Neo family,
Please enjoy the debut episode of "Confession." I've known and admired Satya Nadella for over 30 years. I reported to him in 1999-2000 after Microsoft bought my first startup, LinkExchange.
In this conversation, Satya shares personal stories and lessons about empathy, courage, and taking on risk as a leader.
We pull back the curtain on a critical episode in Microsoft's past: not taking Google seriously enough and missing the importance of search (and ads as the web's monetization engine).
Satya and I each share what we did wrong, and I make a confession of my own.
