Book Review: Maverick by Ricardo Semler, 30 Years On
When I read Maverick in 1992, it transformed what was then Happy Computers.
I went from being a micro-managing boss, who rang every day from holiday to check things were going ok, to – eventually – a fully trust-based environment.
For me it is the best business book ever written. I have given copies to many of the staff at Happy and I have given over 500 copies away to others.
So, on my sabbatical I decided to re-read it, on its 30th anniversary.
