Ricardo Semler is a champion of radical, employee-friendly corporate democracy, a vision that he successfully transformed into reality during his 40 years as CEO of Semco Partners. He built Semco Style Institute (SSI) upon that foundation and has shared its learnings with companies across the world. The best-selling author of Maverick and The Seven-Day Weekend, he was previously a Professor of Leadership at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and Visiting Scholar at Harvard Law School. He is taking his model of radical corporate democracy into the field of education through the Lumiar School, whose methodology has been adopted by more than 10 schools—both public and private—in Brazil, USA, and the Netherlands. He is the author of the forthcoming book The End of the Boss.
