Maverick by Ricardo Semler

Henry Stewart, the interviewee in our last edition, recommended this book, saying that it changed his life and his organisation as well.
Maverick by Ricardo Semler is a story of a Brazilian businessman who changed the workplace he took over from his father.

Stewart says: “He took over the job to work from one where workers were searched at the gate every night, such was the lack of trust, to one where workers were trusted to set their own targets, organise the workplace, choose their managers, even decide their own salary in many cases.”

Maverick was recommended by Henry Stewart the founder and Chief Executive of London-based, award-wining training business Happy Ltd – watch our interview with him where he shares insights and his suggestions on happy and productive workplaces.

The book is available at amazon.co.uk and amazon.com.
