4 stars

This book by Ricardo Semler challenges traditional management practices by promoting self-management for greater job satisfaction and productivity. Semler argues that empowering employees to manage their own work schedules and responsibilities leads to greater investment in their work and ownership of their tasks. He addresses common concerns about self-management and explains that with the right systems and culture in place, it can be highly effective. The book provides practical examples that demonstrate the success of self-management and is applicable to a wide range of organisations. Overall, it is an inspiring read that encourages a refreshing approach to management.
