One afternoon, while he was visiting a factory in New York, he fell down. The doctor said, “ Theres nothing wrong with you. But if you continue like this, youll find a new home in our hospital.” Semler got the message. He changed the way he worked. In fact, he changed the ways his workers worked, too.At the same time, Semler changed the office. Instead of walls, they have plants at Semco, so the boss cant shut himself away from everyone else. And the workers are free to decorate their workplace as they want.
