So far, Satya Nadella’s moves as head of Microsoft echo the teachings of Jim Collins’ 2001 best seller, Good to Great.

Nadella has done a good job of articulating a vision for Microsoft — a Collins fundamental — and now he’s on to getting the right people on the bus and getting the wrong ones off.
