Quotes from Satya Nadella:

• “We’re in the business of meeting unmet, unarticulated needs of customers. That’s it. There’s no way we’re going to meet our unmet needs of customers if you don’t have a deep sense of empathy.”
• “One of the things I try to practice or build more muscle around is having the confidence that I’m capable of confronting my own demons while also avoiding hubris.”
