A friend sent me the WSJ analysis of what is between the lines in Satya Nadella’s email to employees.

Commentary: Decrypting Satya Nadella’s CEO Welcome Letter

I decided to run a different analysis. What is the word count of the e-mail. I have it below. The one area that jumped out was the following grouping of words that came up 4 times.

4 great

4 forward

4 devices

4 cloud

4 change

4 better

4 believe
