Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is proof positive that one can be a powerful and effective leader without constantly being in the limelight
Share to linkedinImagine a magazine feature exploring the following question: “Can CEO Satya Nadella Save Microsoft?” Save it from what: too much success?
Nadella’s five-year run as Microsoft’s CEO has showcased a different kind of leadership, noteworthy as much for what he hasn’t done as for what he has. Avoiding center stage for the most part, Nadella has asserted a kind of leadership that there seems to be too little of these days: leading through others, helping them become the agents of Microsoft’s success.
“Shortly after the deal closed in April 2014”—just two months after Nadella was elevated to CEO—“he announced the largest layoff in Microsoft’s history,” eliminating 18,000 positions, “the majority of which involved Nokia.” So it wasn’t, by all accounts, high times for Microsoft. The company’s mission, he said—it’s “core guiding North Star”—is “to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.”
