Ricardo Semler

Just found on BBC, an audio recording by Charles Handy about Semler, one of most influential gurus in Human Resource Management.

He is the one of the most important business person’s in Brasil and author of bestsellers Maverick: The Success Story Behind the World’s Most Unusual Workplace and The Seven-Day Weekend: Changing the Way Work Works, encouraging us to look at management in an entirely different way.
Gosh, if only i could work at Semco.
