New Delhi: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is writing his first book. Titled Hit Refresh, the book will be released through Harper Business in 2017.
Hit Refresh follows three storylines - Nadella's personal journey of transformation, the change that is taking place today inside Microsoft, and one that is coming in all of our lives as intelligent machines become more ambient and more ubiquitous throughout society.
In the book, Nadella explores how people, organisations, and societies can and must transform in their persistent quest for new energy, new ideas, relevance and renewal.
Nadella writes that uniquely human qualities like empathy will become more valuable in a world where the torrent of technology will disrupt like never before.
"It is not a 'how to succeed' book, nor is it a memoir - it's premature for that. Ultimately, I am writing for Microsoft team members, customers, and partners in hopes that these stories of transformation will be useful to them as they navigate their own path," said Nadella, adding, "This book is about change."
"We are thrilled to be working with Satya on this exciting project that provides an inside view of Microsoft's ongoing transformation," said Brian Murray, President and CEO of HarperCollins Publishers.
The author's proceeds from the book will be donated to Microsoft Philanthropies to benefit nonprofits, specifically those working on public cloud for public good projects.
