In his book, Be More Pirate, entrepreneur Sam Conniff Allende has brought to life the Golden Age of pirates, drawing a direction line between the tactics and teachings of pirates like Henry Morgan and Blackbeard and rebels of today, like Elon Musk, Malala and Banksy.
I'd love your thoughts on the Be More Pirate Movement. For me it really did help to join the dots with Jeremy Heimen's New Power movement and Gib Bulloch's call for Corporate Insurgencies. Sam is a compelling and entertaining speaker and I'm incredibly grateful to him for cycling through the rain to get to our meeting.
I am Richard McCarthy. Think Like Pirates is my nom de guerre. A social entrepreneur, I contribute to a wide range of efforts. From the written word to film, evaluation to strategic planning, I bring a specific point of view. When conventional thinking leaves you adrift at sea, it's time to think like pirates.
For 30 years, I have played both hyper-local and global roles in growing community, especially through food. Today, I work as a consultant to community development organizations interested in food, behavior change, and urban-rural linkages. It is also and honor to serve as the president to the new Rome-based World Farmers Markets Coalition; an advisory board member to the Culinary Medicine Program; and as a board of Slow Food International.
In 1995, I founded Market Umbrella and its flagship Crescent City Farmers Market in New Orleans. We developed worker cooperatives with public housing residents; health incentive programs for seniors, children, shrimpers, and families on public assistance; and a menu of tools for public markets. I also served as the founding president of the Farmers Market Coalition. In 2013, I took the helm of the American arm of the world's largest food organization, Slow Food. For six-years, I moved the organization to make it more inclusive, where joy meets justice. Today, I serve on the organization's international governing body to steer the work of its thematic communities.
Beneath the behemoth of industrial life, an alternative emerges, reminiscent of William Morris and the Arts and Crafts Movement. The future is being forged by ordinary people who seek some degree of autonomy in their lives. And that's just in the realm of food! Think beyond food: What about the inexplicable rise of book clubs, cohousing, Little Free Libraries, and giving circles?
Many images of pirates show an eyepatch, a hook replacing the hand or a wooden peg for a leg. As a Disabled person, it got me to thinking. How did they become disabled in the first place? Should we hold pirates up as heroes in the disability community?
These pirates kept working after becoming disabled. Although their career was a bad one, they did live and work. They figured out how to keep going with a disability. If an accommodation or other meaningful and honest work were available would we have pirates at all? If you remove the awful parts of the job, these elements can be viewed as somewhat aspirational.
When you think of a pirate their cruel nature is more prominent than their disability. Why is that? Do we shutter to think that a disabled person would be so cold and heartless? As a blind person, do I want to associate with an image like that? Especially when we already struggle with accurate depictions in the first place?
So, here are my final thoughts. As Yes! Magazine explains we need pirates. We need a diversity of images of the disabled. Portraying the good, bad and ugly shows the complexity of humanity. Life of the disabled is not always black and white, there are shades of grey and I think pirates are an example of that.
I read your posts each time and am ever so grateful for your shared thoughts. Sight is priceless! So, I take your messages to heart. God placed you in my life at just the right time. God bless you sweetly.
Alex Osterwalder, best-selling author and inventor of the Business Model Canvas, hates it when innovators refer to themselves as pirates. This is because pirates originally operated outside the law and if they were ever caught they were killed. In one sense he is right. When you are working in a large company, innovation succeeds when intrapreneurs collaborate with other key functions. So operating like a true pirate is not really an option.
But being a pirate is super cool and it seems such an apt description of innovators. Even Steve Jobs thought it was better to be a pirate than to join the navy. He raised the pirate flag for the Macintosh team and inspired them to do great things. I have often found it difficult to reconcile the need for innovators to be a bit rebellious and the importance of collaboration with others in the company for innovation to succeed. So how do we reconcile these two competing ideas?
The difference is simply that nobody sends pirates to do what they are doing. In contrast, explorers are often sent by a group of investors who are keenly interested in what they are doing and are rooting for their success. So the question for any intrapreneur becomes; who within the leadership in your organization is keenly interested in what you are doing and rooting for your success?
For innovation to succeed, we need to destroy the notion that intrapreneurs should view the company they work for in an antagonistic way. Instead, what we want to do is make innovation a core part of how our company does business. After the conversation with Shachaf Snir, I started digging into the history of piracy. The question I had in my mind was whether they were any famous pirates that transitioned to become explorers. What I learned was fascinating. I learned that not all pirates are the same!
People typically use terms like pirate and privateer interchangeably. While both words describe pirates, they do not mean the same thing. A pirate is a person who commits theft at sea. This involves attacking ships, often without discrimination. In other words, a pirate is essentially a criminal. This is exactly what a corporate innovator cannot be. As Steve Blank likes to say, startups can do anything but large companies can only do what is legal.
Contrast this with a privateer, who was a pirate that had been granted a licence by a government to attack from ships belonging to an enemy government. This licence, also known as the Letter of Marque, meant that when the privateer returned with the proceeds of their adventures, these would be shared between the government, the ship owners and the privateer. In other words, a privateer had backing from their government to do the work.
It was even better when privateers secured commissions to become explorers. Privateers like Sir Francis Drake and Sir Thomas Cavendish would get commissions from their governments to explore foreign territories and claim some of them for their home countries. This meant that when they returned with their findings, there was interest from their governments to further invest in the enterprise. This is what Shachaf Snir was talking about over that dinner we had in Tel Aviv!
The goal here is not to celebrate the criminal behaviour of pirates. It is to use the distinction with privateers as an illustrative tool for intrapreneurs to understand their context. What matters is that we are trying to make innovation a key part of how companies do business. This means that intrapreneurs have to focus on developing strong relationships with leaders within their organization.
If you are just a pirate, then the leaders inside your company do not really care about what you are working on. If your idea is found, it will be made to walk the plank. But if you are a privateer or an explorer, the leaders in your company care about your success. This is because they have essentially commissioned the work you are doing. As such, the innovation projects you work on are much more likely to get the support they need to succeed.
Getting leadership support is not easy work. There is a lot of political inertia inside large companies and any efforts at transformation will trigger resistance. But if we succeed in getting support, we will have made innovation a legitimate part of our company. This will make it easier for our innovation projects to succeed going forward.
When on the high seas, any one who wasn't a captain would sleep out in the open, either in a hammock or on the floor. There were however, 'pirate havens'. Regions of the Indian Ocean and Madagascar were often safe places for pirates to stay, outside of the law and state governance.
Pirates have existed since ancient times. They threatened the trading routes of ancient Greece, and seized cargoes of grain and olive oil from Roman ships. Later, the most famous and far-reaching pirates in early Middle Ages Europe were the Vikings.
During this time news of piracy reached the ears of both rich and poor. Ballads about topical events were sung on the streets. Newspapers could be freely read in coffee houses for the price of a dish of coffee. There was a spectrum of opinion about the exploits of the more notorious pirates. Published images often showed them as powerful and well dressed.
Some historians have described pirate ships as the original republics. Pirate captains had to be elected, with all decisions made upon the basis that they benefitted the crew. Any money that was captured was shared equally amongst the crew. pirate ships did not have the same hierarchical discipline as navy ships. Pirate crews tended to be less divided by national, religious and racial differences than communities were on land.
There was however also tough discipline on board. If you failed to follow the rules, you could be flogged, killed, or marooned. There were also long periods without food or medical supplies, and the only option was to go hungry.
