元器件交易网讯 2月24日消息，微软新上任CEO纳德拉在纽约时报的采访中表示，微软需要回归灵活的思维，以促进其蓬勃发展。
萨提亚·纳德拉（Satya Nadella）在上周四发表于纽约时报的采访中称，目前面临的最大挑战是重新书写“微软公式”，让微软走出创新困境。
“在文化方面我们的运作就像已经找到正确的"公式"一样，要做的就是优化这个公式的各个组成部分，”他在纽约时报的采访中说道。“我们已经有了了不起的成就，但我们的未来与之无关。发明出好的产品才能推动我们的未来。”
纳德拉承认，对于大如微软的公司来说创新和发展有时相对困难，成熟的公司与年轻的同行相比更难成长。
“当你有一家价值700亿的企业，100万的项目与之相比九牛一毛。但这100万的项目是我们正在做的、与我们最相关的事情。对我来说这是巨大的企业文化的改变—认同创新，促其成长。”
纳德拉担任CEO后将与比尔·盖茨一同工作，后者在纳德拉被任命后担任技术顾问工作。采访过程中纳德拉还谈及他对盖茨和鲍尔默领导作风的看法。
“比尔是一个拥有严谨分析的人，总是做充分的准备，并在会议最开始的五秒钟内发现我们展示的东西中的逻辑错误。他会同你极力争论几分钟，之后再说"你是对的"。比尔和史蒂夫共享了这一技巧，他们是在做压力测试，以测试你的信念是否坚定。”
至于鲍尔默，纳德拉指出其对传统并不关心，更关心一个人能否在运用其掌握的资源前解决问题。
纳德拉回忆起多年前鲍尔默对他的考核评估：“唯一与你有关的是如何打好手中的牌。专注于这件事，而不是与其他人进行比较。”（元器件交易网毛毛 译）

Microsoft"s newCEO says his company needs to return to thinking like a nimble startup tothrive.
Satya Nadella"sbig challenge is rewriting the “Microsoft formula” to get the company out of aninnovation trap, according to an interview published Thursday in the New YorkTimes.
“Culturally, I thinkwe have operated as if we had the formula figured out, and it was all aboutoptimizing, in its various constituent parts, the formula,” he said during theinterview with the Times. “We"ve had great successes, but our future is notabout our past success. It"s going to be about whether we will invent things thatare really going to drive our future.”
With a companyas large as Microsoft, Nadella admitted, sometimes finding innovation andgrowth is tough. Mature and established companies don"t grow as much as theiryoung counterparts.
“When you have a $70billion business, something that"s $1 million can feel irrelevant. But that $1million business might be the most relevant thing we are doing,” he said. “Tome, that is perhaps the big culture change – recognizing innovation andfostering its growth.”
In Nadella"s newrole he will be working extensively with Bill Gates, who moved from chairman ofthe board to technology advisor after the appointment of Nadella. During theinterview he said touched on his relationship and his observations on theleadership style of Gates and Ballmer.
“Bill is the mostanalytically rigorous person. He"s always very well prepared, and in the firstfive seconds of a meeting he"ll find some logical flaw in something I"ve shownhim,” he said. “He"ll argue with you vigorously for a couple of minutes, andthen he"ll be the first person to say, "Oh, you"re right." Both Bill and Steveshare this. They pressure-test you. They test your conviction.”
With Ballmer,Nadella noted that his predecessor was concerned less with tradition and morewith finding out how someone could best tackle the problem before them with theresources they had at their disposal.
“The only thing thatmatters to me is what you do with the cards you"ve been dealt now. I want youto stay focused on that, versus trying to do this comparative benchmark,” ishow Nadella recalls Ballmer assessing his performance in a performance reviewyears ago.
