- Lessons from Geese
Team Building
6
As each goose flaps its wings it creates an
"uplift" for the birds that follow. By flying in
a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 71 greater
flying range than if each bird flew alone.
Lesson People who share a common direction and
sense of community can get where they are going
quicker and easier because they are travelling on
the thrust of one another.
7
When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly
feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It
quickly moves back into formation to take
advantage of the lifting power of the bird
immediately in front of it.
Lesson If we have as much sense as a goose we
stay in formation with those headed where we want
to go. We are willing to accept their help and
give our help to others
8
When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into
the formation and another goose flies to the
point position.
Lesson It pays to take turns doing the hard
tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese,
people are interdependent on each other's skills,
capabilities and unique arrangements of gifts,
talents or resources.
9
The geese flying in formation honk to encourage
those up front to keep up their speed. .
Lesson We need to make sure our honking is
encouraging. In groups where there is
encouragement, the production is much greater.
The power of encouragement (to stand by one's
heart or core values and encourage the heart or
core value's of others) is quality of honking we
seek
