Satya Nadella inherited a Microsoft rotting from stack ranking, a system forcing colleagues to sabotage each other for survival. His antidote came from Carol Dweck's Mindset: replace "Did you hit your target?" with "What did you learn?" This single question shift, paired with abolishing internal competition and treating empathy as a concrete business skill rather than corporate platitude, revived a stagnating giant.
