Bee Wise 12 Leadership Lessons from a Busy Beehive with Philip Atkinson


Listen Later

What can bees teach us about leadership, teamwork, and innovation? 🐝

In this episode, Philip Atkinson — organizational coach, beekeeper, and author of Bee Wise: 12 Leadership Lessons from a Busy Beehive — shares powerful insights from the hive that apply directly to modern workplaces.

We explore:

  • Why the queen bee is not really the leader of the hive

  • How the waggle dance is a perfect metaphor for communication

  • Why bees switch jobs throughout their lives and what that means for career growth

  • How swarms make better decisions by consensus

  • The importance of diversity, innovation, and collaboration in thriving organizations
