Whether you're a leader, manager or simply looking to better understand yourself and those around you, this episode is packed with practical insights on building stronger teams through empathy, flexibility and honest conversations.

In this episode of The Workplace Podcast, William Corless is joined by Camilla Kring, Thinkers50 Radar thinker, author of ChronoLeadership, and one of the world's leading experts on chronobiology and productive work rhythms.

Why do some people thrive at 6 a.m. while others do their best thinking late in the evening? And what if the traditional 9-to-5 workday is holding back both productivity and wellbeing?

William and Camilla explore the science of chronotypes, the impact of our natural body clocks on performance, and why organisations need to rethink how work is designed in today's knowledge economy. They discuss everything from early-riser bias and social jet lag to flexible work, team productivity, leadership, and creating workplaces that help people perform at their best.

Whether you're a leader looking to unlock your team's potential or simply curious about your own work rhythms, this conversation offers practical insights that could change the way you think about work and time itself.
