- Set your own salary
- Vote your leaders in/out
- Come and go when you please
- Take vacation whenever you want

- If you have to give back, you’ve taken too much
- Ask “why” three times and then stop
- Design for wisdom

Make no mistake about it, Mr. Semler’s radical ideas are not a mess of pie-in-the-sky, Utopian psychobabblings. They’re the real deal, and they’ve been in play… in the real world… for over 20+ years at Semco.
