Colleen talked about the history of EA. She gave us some examples to demonstrate how they take care of the interpersonal relationships through different existent and potential problems they encountered.

HR has guidelines, not rules. All of their politics are "local." How management works, how things get done, could be very different in different places. Ideas/Creativity/Risks are rewarded; Even might be failed, goals should be thought higher. Everyone needs to contribute to minimize hierarchy. They try to implement advancement by achievement, not tenure. HR also takes care of comforatble benefits. Their work gets involved in the game.

They emphasize quality and innovation, act with integrity, and always listend and respond to consumer inputs, deliver beyond their expectations, build lifetime customers. "Be bold," "Think Consumbers First," "Learn and grow," and "Be accountable" are some rules they always obligate.

"Focus on people." She always concerntrates on trying to make colleagues more confident to their jobs.
