In The Seven-Day Weekend, Semler explains how he transformed a small family business into a highly profitable manufacturing, services and high-tech powerhouse - 40 times larger - while watching his favorite movies or relaxing with his son in the middle of the business day. In this book, Ricardo Semler tells how Semco, Latin America's fastest growing company, uses a revolutionary way of working to run a profit making company with a work force who love their jobs. At Semco, workers choose their bosses. Financial information is shared with everyone. A high percentage of the employees determine their own salaries. And self-managed teams replace hierarchy and procedure

This text tells how Ricardo Semler created one of the most successful and inspirational companies in the world. Workers make the decisions previously made by their bosses and managerial staff set their own salaries and bonuses.
