On Smart Business, Matt McClellan has written down an interview with Greg Ballard on how he changed the company culture within Glu.
The story kicks off with some pretty nasty examples of how Glu was functioning at the time when Greg entered the company. Employees boycotted the company Christmas party and didn’t talk openly on the workfloor.
“It was filled with deception; it was filled with fear and intimidation,” Ballard says. “People would not talk to anybody without the door of their office closed. You would see them furtively checking to make sure nobody saw who they were talking with when they closed their door.”
