Satya Nadella Reflects on Empathy Lesson from Microsoft Interview
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recalled a pivotal moment from his 1992 final interview at Microsoft, where he was asked how he would respond if a child fell while crossing the street. Initially treating it as a technical problem, Nadella said he would call 911. The interviewer, Richard Tait, emphasized the importance of empathy, advising Nadella to pick up and comfort the child instead. Despite this, Nadella was hired and later reflected on how this lesson shaped his leadership approach.
