Ricardo Semler is a champion of the employee-friendly radical corporate democracy he implemented as CEO of Semco Partners for over 20 years. He believes that if we simply ask why we do things and devolve power to employees, we’re able to create wiser companies - ones that are simultaneously more productive and have a happier workforce.

Semler and his company Semco gained international recognition for the groundbreaking alternative approach to management and organization they embodied. The Semco Style Institute (SSI), was built upon this strong foundation and brings this way of working to companies all over the world.

Semler is the best-selling author of the classic Maverick and The Seven-Day Weekend. He was Professor of Leadership at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and Visiting Scholar at Harvard Law School, and is working to bring radical corporate democracy to education through Lumiar School.
