Maverick Leadership/Ricardo Semler - III
Published by Sanjukt K. Saha on March 24, 2007 at 6:57 PMA leader who fosters entrepreneurship within his organization turns motivation on its head.
What is motivation really? Is it any better than a KITA! Semler created volition in his organization. A place where you “forget socialism, capitalism, just-in-time deliveries, salary surveys, and the rest of it, and concentrate on building organizations that accomplish that most difficult of challenges: to make people look forward to coming to work in the morning”. That is leadership.
If you really look at various utopian goals in mankind’s history, from the pursuit of alchemy to communism and beyond, SEMCO is perhaps the only successful story: creating the ideal worker’s organization – it is almost a fable.
