Brad Smith, President Microsoft: The Full Shift Dialogs Transcript — NewCo Shift

Excerpt from an extensive interview

"Satya is creating a new culture. I don’t think that one can say in two years and X months, a company of 100,000 people has been remade, and the job is done. I do think it is a much more outward-looking culture. It is a more collaborative culture, internally. It is a more mission-focused culture. It’s a more humble culture. Those of us who worked directly with Satya appreciate every day just the incredible breadth of his curiosity, graciousness of personality. Focus always a moving forward in a constructive way, and I think this integral sense of humility. As I’ve said, humility serves people well. We don’t think about that as often as we probably should. It’s a great strength if we nurture it. It’s not, I agree, what one thought of first 20 years ago, in the middle of the antitrust battle, but we’ve learned. I think we’ve all learned."
