I’ve been reading a book that has been around for some time but I hadn’t got round to reading.
“Maverick” by Ricardo Semler describes Semler’s journey from taking over his father’s business in 1980 to turning it into the successful business it is today. The journey has not been an easy one but his determination to run his business in a way that has been way ahead of its time is a refreshing read.
In the world of leadership development, the ideas on how he leads and manages his business are not new. What is unusual and refreshing is the commitment to and tangible evidence of success in a manufacturing business based in South America.
