Many assume that to be able to run a business all one needs is a few capital and employees. Unfortunately, it is not that simple. Much more is anticipated from an organization in order for it to reach prosperity in as many ways as possible. To be more specific, a business must operate around the concept of management discipline, only then will a business function smoother. However, for a business to approach these disciplinary methods a company will need to narrow down their style of management. When a company attempts to approach more than one style of discipline it will face unstable and serious turbulence down the road, purely due to the inconsistency.

This style eats and breathes profit as maximizing all revenue is of high importance. Along with this dedication comes, what most would refer to as cruel, the insensitivity towards employees’ satisfaction.

No one knows this more than Microsoft’s new CEO, Ryan Nakashima. The corporation’s previous leader, Satya Nadella, was said to have an ineffective management style. Supposedly Nadella’s approach used to be effective but once the company’s global power continued to expand his style slowed down. Nadella’s calm gestures were actually even more different than former CEO’s style, Steve Ballmer (Nakashima, 2014). While Ballmer focused on emotions, Nadella cared about the bell curve. This ranking system displayed which employees rose to the top, above their fellow co-workers, and that is how Nadella handled the management discipline of Microsoft. This tactic, however, became a battle field were employees put their attention towards being ranked rather than the corporation’s targets. For this reason, Microsoft “experts on leadership say the change in tone is a necessary cultural shift for a mature company transitioning into new businesses while letting go of past successes and missed opportunities” (Nakashima, 2014). Therefore, Nakashima is announced to be that shift that the company is in desperate need of.
