Flying
Lessons From Geese
As
each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for others
behind him. There is seventy-one percent more flying range
in the V-formation, than flying alone.
•
People who share a common direction and sense of common purpose,
can get there quicker.
Whenever
a Goose flies out of formation, it quickly feels the drag
and tries to get back into position.
•
It's
harder to do something alone than together.
When
the lead Goose gets tired it rotates back into the formation
and another Goose flies at the head of the V-formation.
•
Shared
leadership and interdependence gives us each a chance to lead
as well as opportunities to rest.
The
Geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up
front to keep up their speed.
•
We
need to make sure our honking is encouraging and not discouraging.
When
a Goose gets sick or wounded and falls, two Geese fall out
and stay with it until it revives of dies. Then they catch
up or join another flock.
•
Stand
by your colleagues in difficult times as well as good.
