Be More Pirate

The concept of "Ask forgiveness, not permission" stands out as a distinct approach, reminiscent of the exciting times experienced with airlines, as articulated by Sir Richard Branson. Echoing this sentiment, Steve Jobs famously preferred the rebellious spirit of a pirate over the conventions of the navy. The "Reasons to be Cheerful" podcast by Ed Miliband finds this notion utterly captivating. Joy Lo Dico of the Evening Standard describes it as a blueprint for dismantling the current system to forge substantial change. Martha Lane Fox CBE, founder of Lastminute.com, emphasizes the relevance of "Be More Pirate," highlighting its importance in drawing lessons from history to guide our future. Tom Goodwin, author of "Digital Darwinism," warns that "Be More Pirate" is more than just a book; it's the genesis of a movement that should come with a caution. Bruce Daisley of Twitter praises it for offering an invigorating, thought-provoking view on work and leadership. Lastly, Arlo Brady, CEO of Freud Communications, characterizes it as a provocative manifesto that challenges conventional corporate thinking and advocates a needed shift.
