How do you keep people motivated at the most valuable company in the United States? Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has some ideas.
But that doesn't give him cause for celebration.

He even views the monumental $1 trillion valuation as a potential hindrance to employee motivation. If employees are celebrating the valuation, he says, it would be"the beginning of the end."
