LESSONS FROM GEESE
Geese flying in a V-formation have always been a welcome sign of spring as
well as a sign that heralds the coming of winter. Not only is this a
marvelous sight, but there are some remarkable lessons that we can learn
from the flight of the geese, because all that they do has
significance..........
|
| 1. |
As each goose flaps its
wings, it creates an uplift for others behind it. There is 71
percent more flying range in V-formation than in flying alone.
LESSON: People who
share a common direction and sense of purpose
can get there more quickly. |
|
| 2. |
Whenever a goose flies
out of formation, it feels drag and tries to get back into position.
LESSON: It's harder
to do something alone than together. |
|
| 3. |
When the lead goose gets
tired, it rotates back into formation and another goose flies at the
head.
LESSON: Shared
leadership and interdependence give us each a chance
to lead as well as an opportunity to rest. |
|
| 4. |
The geese flying in the
rear of the formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their
speed.
LESSON: Encouragement
is motivating. We need to make our "honking"
encouraging and not discouraging. |
|
|
5. |
When a goose gets sick or
wounded and falls, two geese fall out and stay with it until it revives or
dies. Then they catch up or join another flock.
LESSON: We may all need
help from time to time. We should stand by our colleagues in
difficult times. |
