The Seven Day Weekend - The Wisdom Revolution: Finding the Work/Life Balance Print E-mail
Ricardo Semler has been CEO of Brazil-based Semco for the last two decades. He is known around the globe for championing his employee- friendly management style. His first book, Maverick, was an international bestseller.

Imagine a company where employees set their own hours; where there are no offices, no job titles, no business plans; where employees get to endorse or veto any new venture; where kids are encouraged to run the halls; and where the CEO lets other people make nearly all the decisions.

This company (Semco) actually exists, and despite a seeming recipe for chaos, its revenues have grown from $35 million to $160 million in the last six years. It has virtually no staff turnover, and there are no signs that its growth will stop any time soon.

So maybe this isn't for you! But read the book and listen to your resistances, open your mind as to why you don't like what he says, and hey even try a tentative toe in the water. You might scare or even supprise yourself.
