Maverick
By Ricardo Semmler
This book is AMAZING! Ricardo Semmler took over SemCo from his father as a young man and proceded to turn it into the most unusal workplace you can imagine. He slashed management and administrative roles, gave all the workers a voice, took down office walls, and generally made the company a short-on-bureaucracy democracy which survived the insanity of Brazil's economy to remain profitable even during rough times. He's a surprisingly humble for such a successful young man.
Maverick is a must-read for anybody interested in how businesses are run. I myself am sorely tempted to buy a few spare copies and sneak them into the offices of the CEO and other top guys at my job.
Book 23 in 2007.
