LET'S TRY IT IN SECONDS!

FIRST CUT ⏱ 23:53 - 24:43

Let's read...

And so that means, the real currency of a culture is inclusiveness. And that, I think is the core job of what leaders do, and what is the everyday experience of what happens at Microsoft. Interesting enough, I've also come to recognize that first level manager, has probably the most influence on what happens. And so, I distinctly remember as a lead at Microsoft with five people working for me, who all were thinking, why is this guy leading us, right? I mean, it's always the case, because the first level job is the hardest job because there are five people who are also just recent graduates who are sort of looking at you and saying, "I can do what you do."

Let's follow Satya Nadella...

SECOND CUT ⏱ 24:43 – 25:18

Let's read...

And then you have a boss who's asking you to do many things. And so it's sort of real pressure cooker, in the sense you sort of really have to do a lot, but that's when your attitude your nurturing of that five people who are working for you around inclusiveness, will matter a lot. So one of the things that we are doubling down is, are we truly supporting managers at all levels, to be able to sort of in fact support their team so that they can bring the best out of them, and then have them feel included as part of the company.
