Satya Nadella is running scared. That's a good thing.

At the time the company's woes seemed intractable. How could it claw its way back in a world in which it lost out on the internet, social media, and mobile computing? Somehow, Nadella managed to do it. He ended Microsoft's ill-advised foray into building a mobile Windows OS, ended the corporate infighting and sniping, and recognized that Windows was no longer the company's future. Instead, he bet big on cloud computing - and the bet paid off.

They're products of an economy defined by technological acceleration, and operate with fluency across disciplines that didn't even exist in the CEO vocabulary a decade ago: data science, AI governance, cybersecurity, social trust, geopolitical volatility, and shifting expectations of what leadership should look like.

How Narcissistic Leaders Hold Onto Power

Noting that "the desire for admiration and power" drives them to "engage in more self-promotion and seek recognition than less narcissistic leaders," the literature is less clear on whether these strategies work or not.
