Teeming: How Nature’s Oldest Teams Adapt and Thrive

In an increasingly volatile and uncertain world, organizations need to stay on their toes. The most successful species are those that adapt to change. Biologists know diversity is the raw feedstock of evolution, yet we systematically suppress it.

TEEMING shows you how nature’s oldest teams adapt and thrive, and we can too. With twelve simple principles and five simple patterns—Collective Intelligence, Swarm Creativity, Distributed Leadership, Trust, and Regenerative Value—Teeming shows how unique and independent members of superorganisms share work and wealth to grow adaptive hotspots of resilience, opportunity, and abundance from one generation to the next––without bosses, regulations, or paychecks.
