The key to everything is empathy, because nothing is more effective and fruitful than the ability to walk in the shoes of others.”
A Father, A Husband, A CEO - Satya Nadella believes that his family played a major part in his journey of becoming a successful leader
Becoming a father of special needs children was a turning point in his life which has shaped his life and career in many ways and impacted him very deeply.
His son, Zain, suffered an undetected in-utero asphyxiation which caused severe brain damage leading to cerebral palsy. He is confined to a wheelchair and is quadriplegic and blind.
This was when he learned empathy from his wife, Anupama, who never asked ""why"" but instead always focused on their son and how they could care best for him, he learned empathy from his son when he began to see life from his son’s eyes.
And this is what helped him when his youngest daughter was born with severe learning disabilities.
His journey as a father has taught him how powerful kindness is and how empathy can take you places! #parentswhoinspire
