The Seven-day weekend

---

Ricardo Semler's favorite question is "Why?" Why do people routinely bring work home on the weekends but never go to the movies on a Monday afternoon? Why do we need to sit at the same desk every day? Why do we have to fill out time sheets or need an HR department to file them? Why are we interviewed by our bosses but never get to interview someone who wants to be our boss? For the last twenty years Semler has been doing a lot more than asking questions -- he's actually been running a company by breaking every tenet in the traditional rule book. Semler encourages his employees to play hooky. He tells them not to bother with growth plans. Employees choose their own salaries, set their own hours, and have no job titles. Ridiculous? Inefficient? A recipe for chaos? Perhaps. But Semler's ideas work. They work so well, in fact, that his company, Semco, has grown from $35 million in revenue to $212 million in the last six years, and even with more than 3,000 employees, it has virtually no turnover. People come from around the world to study Semler's radical management practices. If you feel like work has taken over your life, The Seven-Day Weekend is for you. It's a manifesto that proves we don't have to be slaves to the hypercompetitive, bottom-line-obsessed American work ethic that has spawned the seven-day workweek. Semco's success shows that a company which puts employee freedom and happiness ahead of corporate goals can still achieve profit, sustainability, and growth that far exceed the competition's. Reflecting Ricardo Semler's passion, wry sense of humor, and hardheaded business acumen, The Seven-Day Weekend challenges all of our assumptions about how a successful business should be run.
