In your corporate environment, jargon flies around your ears. You feel far removed from nature.
But you don't have to be! Bees teach you to look at your own organization in an original and confrontational way. Do you dare?

Anyone whose team is at home in a corporate environment, or not, may now add a new management style: Management by bees.

In the process, the experienced beekeeper takes you into the lives of various bees. Thereby, with a lot of humor and some self-mockery, many parallels are drawn between the organization of a hive and your own organization.

Because besides the solitary living wild bees, the ZZP-ers so to speak, honey bees have a proven and tested management model for thousands of years. A queen at the top of the hierarchy, a personal staff department and below that really only two departments. The bees working there constantly train themselves and thus develop further and further along their own career path. Thus, they develop into professionals in self-managing teams and thus a huge "span of control" becomes possible for the queen.

Everything is covered, including mergers, acquisitions, vacationers with side jobs, diversity, "greenwashing," multiple branches, and so on.

In short, management by bees is a welcome addition to any organization, large or small, that wants to evolve in their organizational model.

It can be done, by mirroring and reflecting on a beekeeper, guided by a knowledgeable beekeeper. Not without humor.
