In this book, we will walk you through the initial lessons we teach in Pirate School: the theory and rationale of pirating; first steps (Pirating 101), including getting to know yourself, your queen (or king), your crew, your ship, the waters in which you choose to sail; how to develop and manage a crew; sailing your ship; navigating political waters; maintaining safe port; and finding and enjoying your treasure.

We open our personal treasure chests of piratical principles, strategies, and tools to help you navigate your own capricious winds of political and organizational change.
