Brazillian Entrepreneur Ricardo Semler turned his company Semco upside he found he worked less, got richer, reduced the stress of work dramatically and became a worldwide bestselling author. The company went from a top-down authoritative operation to one where you could do what you like, when you like, so long as everyone agreed to it.

At Semco you can rock upto work when you want to and  are able to vote a dismissal of your boss with other employees if you are not happy your boss. This is a very radical approach for sure, but Ricardo Semler has proven it works, how many other companies out there will follow in his wacky footsteps?
