Maverick!

The Success Story Behind the World's Most Unusual Workplace
Book • 1988
The book relates the management succession and increasingly unorthodox ethos of Semco.

Semler transformed the company by implementing radical policies such as allowing workers to set their own production quotas, practicing profit sharing down to the factory floor level, and simplifying business processes.

This approach led to significant success and made the book a worldwide bestseller.
