In episode 275 of the IDEAS+LEADERS Podcast, I’m joined by Philip Atkinson, leadership coach, organizational transformation expert, beekeeper, and author of Bee Wise: 12 Leadership Lessons from a Busy Beehive.
Philip blends his experience at global organizations like Novartis, Roche, Sanofi, and Publicis with the surprising wisdom of the beehive. Together, we explore what leaders can learn from the hidden workings of a busy hive — from decision-making and communication to purpose, learning, and culture.
We discuss:
• Why leaders should stop being “busy as a bee”
• How 50,000 bees make unanimous decisions — and how teams can too
• What can we learn from bees about clear communication
If you’re a leader, manager, or entrepreneur looking for fresh, nature-rooted insights to build healthier teams and stronger organizations, this episode is for you.

Books can be bought at Amazon and in all book stores.
