Bill and Josh are promoting benevolent hacking — bypassing stupid rules for the good of your company, your team and your customers.

There’s also malicious hacking. Bad people doing bad things. Unfortunately, it’s also easy for them to hack — as evidenced by Iranian-backed insurgents that just breached $billions of U.S. drone-based military operations with $29.95 worth of off the shelf software, and by the Russian cyber gang suspected of stealing tens of millions from Citibank.

3. How do we build an organization that actually inspires extraordinary accomplishment?

Guess what powerfully answers those three questions?!
