Brazilian entrepreneur Ricardo Semler presents his radical idea on how businesses should be run – let them run themselves.
Could you run your company like this man? What if your job didn’t control your life? Brazilian CEO Ricardo Semler practices a radical form of corporate democracy, rethinking everything from board meetings to how workers report their vacation days (they don’t have to). It’s a vision that rewards the wisdom of workers, promotes work-life balance, and leads to some deep insight on what work, and life, is really all about. Bonus question: What if schools were like this too?
