"It seemed to me that the bees were working on the very same kinds of problems we are trying to solve. How can large, diverse groups work together harmoniously and productively? Perhaps we could take what the bees do so well and apply it to our institutions."When Michael OMalley first took up beekeeping, he thought it would be a nice hobby to share with his tenyearold son. But as he started to observe these industrious insects, he noticed that they do a lot more than just make honey. Bees not only work together to achieve a common goal but, in the process, create a highly coordinated, efficient, and remarkably productive organization. The hive behaved like a miniature but incredibly successful business.OMalley also realized that bees can actually teach managers a lot about how to run their organizations. He identified twentyfive powerful insights, such as:* Distribute authority: the queen bee delegates relentlessly, and worker bees make daily decisions based on local cues and requirements.* Keep it simple: bees exchange only relevant information, operate under clear standards, and use straightforward measures and feedback to guide their actions.* Protect the future: when a lucrative vein of nectar is discovered, the entire colony doesnt rush off to mine it, no matter how enriching the short term benefits.Blending practical advice with interesting facts about the hive, The Wisdom of Bees is a useful and entertaining guide for any manager looking to get the most out of his or her organization.
