The Collegial Collaborator

In: The New Influencing Toolkit

Abstract

Ricardo Semler, in his book, Maverick: The Success Story behind the World’s Most Unusual Workplace,1 illustrates his commitment to using collaborative influence to great effect. Semler is a leading proponent of what has variously been called “participation management”, “corporate democracy”, and “the company as village”. He has put in place the philosophy of participative management first proposed by Douglas McGregor in his book, The Human Side of Enterprise. McGregor argued that organizations thrive best by trusting employees to apply their creativity and ingenuity in service to the whole enterprise, and to make important decisions close to the flow of work.
