"The mission is both personal and professional for the Nadella, who is pushing the company to rethink how it operates at every level. That's according to internal Microsoft documents obtained by Business Insider, and interviews with leaders, managers, and other employees at the software giant. Sweeping organizational shifts include high-profile executive changes and mandates for teams to work faster and leaner - all designed to consolidate power around AI leaders and radically reshape how the company builds and funds its products."
"That's putting pressure on some Microsoft veterans to decide whether they want to stay and commit to the mountain of work it's going to take to complete Nadella's AI revolution. 'You've gotta be asking yourself how much longer you want to do this,' this executive added. Nadella is having conversations with executives to sign on for the transformation, or leave, people familiar with the matter said."

The push is creating urgency and prompting some veterans to reconsider staying.
