Xbox boss Phil Spencer explains how he had to change to do his job

One of the recent defining characteristics of Xbox as a brand is a sense that the company is listening. That is something that fans have seen the Xbox team express externally, but it started internally as part of a diversity effort. The idea is that gaming is for everyone, and for Xbox boss Phil Spencer, delivering on that requires a lot of listening and a willingness to be responsive.

Spencer took over as head of Xbox seven years ago, and he reveals that he had to change when he made the choice to emphasize diversity. He spoke about that during a panel at our own GamesBeat Summit today.
