Don’t look now, but Valve just humiliated your “corporate culture”
michaelochurch.wordpress.comRE: letting people go wherever they want, whenever they want
How does one keep this from looking like a bunch of 3rd graders playing soccer? ie, mobbing ?
That coaching challenge seems to be the crux of the matter.
edit: phrasing
Valve doesn't hire children to play soccer, they hire adults to build games.
Anyone can take an undifferentiated group of people [Adults!] in any industry and "let them do what they want". In fact, if everyone did this and there had to be a winner, this would be the "winning strategy"! [Congratulations!].
Good luck with your next iteration.
