>Nadella is staunchly [employee tracking]. Any kind of employee tracking will only distract from the bottom line, Jared Spataro, Microsoft’s VP of modern work, recently wrote for Fortune. “While you might get a lot of data from tracking this type of employee activity, I can confidently say it’s the wrong data,” he wrote. “And surveillance doesn’t just lead to bad data—it undermines trust, a critical factor in organizational success that, once lost, is incredibly difficult to regain.”

>Rather than monitoring, Nadella encourages leaders to get back to basics: setting clear business goals. 

>“Really make sure that you’re very clear, as leaders and managers, about what the goals of the company or the team are, setting the norms for how people collaborate, and communicate,” he said.

Highlighting this for those that don't read articles. Glad the CEO of Microsoft is saying this and hope others follow.
