The CEO Diary with Fexingo · 2026-08-03 · 8 min
In this milestone 150th episode of The CEO Diary, Lucas and Luna explore how Satya Nadella transformed Microsoft's culture after the company's late entry into mobile. They unpack the shift from 'know-it-all' to 'learn-it-all,' the 2014 memo that set the tone, the growth mindset as a leadership tool, and how empathy became a business strategy. With specific references to the Azure turnaround, the Minecraft acquisition, and the cultural fingerprints of the Bill Gates era, they examine what Nadella changed and what he deliberately kept. A rich conversation about how culture can be a CEO's most powerful lever - and why it's often the hardest thing to change. #SatyaNadella #MicrosoftCulture #GrowthMindset #Leadership #CEO #TechTurnaround #CorporateCulture #EmpathyInBusiness #Azure #MinecraftAcquisition #BillGatesEra #Innovation #Business #LeadershipLessons #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ExecutiveDecisions #CornerOfficeStories Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
