E57: Season 3 - Busyness and Burnout: Leadership Lessons from Bees with Philip Atkinson
In this episode of the Art of Balance podcast, hosted by Jayne Morris, executive burnout coach, we delve into busyness and burnout with guest Philip Atkinson. Philip, a leadership team expert and founder of Hive Logic, shares insights from his book 'Bee Wise: Leadership Lessons from the Beehive.' We explore how bees, known for their industrious nature, also rest and how this can teach humans about effective leadership.
The conversation touches on creating a 'thinking environment,' balancing busyness with mindfulness, and the organic nature of organisational change. Additionally, the episode highlights the charity 'Bees for Development,' which all proceeds from Philip’s book support. Listen in for a nurturing and insightful discussion on the art of balancing work and life.
