he faced a rigid corporate culture and a sense of decline.

00:00:10

To drive the necessary change,

00:00:12

Nadella had to confront internal resistance rooted in fear of change,

00:00:17

rigidity of old methods,

00:00:18

and a strong reluctance to embrace new ideas.

00:00:22

The transition to cloud computing,

00:00:24

although promising,

00:00:25

was viewed with skepticism by many employees who preferred

00:00:28

to remain focused on software and hardware production.

00:00:32

To overcome these resistances,

00:00:34

Nadella adopted an inclusive and empathetic approach.

00:00:38

He listened attentively to employee concerns,

00:00:42

understanding their perspectives and challenges.

00:00:44

By recognizing their contributions and valuing their opinions.

00:00:48

He created an environment where open dialogue was encouraged.

00:00:53

Nadella also introduced a mindset shift moving from a know

00:00:57

it all culture to a learn it all culture.

00:01:00

The difference was subtle but powerful.

00:01:03

In the old know it all mindset.

00:01:05

Employees focused on demonstrating their intelligence and individual skills

00:01:10

which could lead to internal competition and resistance to change.

00:01:14

In contrast,

00:01:15

the learn it all mentality encouraged by Nadella emphasizes curiosity,

00:01:20

continuous learning,

00:01:22

and collaboration.

00:01:23

It means being open to learning new things,

00:01:26

adapting to changes,

00:01:28

and collaborating to find innovative solutions.

00:01:32

Under Nadella's leadership,

00:01:33

Microsoft became a more agile company,

00:01:36

able to quickly adapt to market changes.

00:01:39

By transforming the corporate culture,

00:01:41

Nadella not only overcame internal resistance,

00:01:45

but also positioned Microsoft as a leader in cloud computing,

00:01:49

paving the way for further successes and innovations.
