![]() ![]() Like geese we too need to stand by each other in difficult times or when individuals are struggling. Then they launch out on their own, with another formation, or they catch up with their flock. They stay with it until it is able to fly again, or dies. ![]() In teams where there is good communication, support, and encouragement, production is much greater.įact #5 – When a goose gets sick or wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it. The power of encouragement can do wonders when it comes to overcoming obstacles and getting results. However, it is essential to make sure our communication is encouraging to others and not discouraging. Constant communication among members is essential for moving effectively towards a common goal or destination. When working on teams, it is important for each member to communicate regularly with all the other team members. On highly effective teams, everyone has the opportunity to function as a leader and as a supporter.įact #4 – The geese in formation honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep up their speed. When a team is functioning well, various members of the team may take the leadership role for a while because of a particular skill, capability, talent, knowledge, or experience. As members of a team, it helps to take turns doing the difficult tasks and sharing leadership responsibilities. Another goose then moves to the front position to take on the job of breaking up the air flow. Consequently, when the lead goose gets tired, it drops out of the front position and moves to the back of the formation, where the resistance is lower and less energy is needed. The geese in the front of the formation expend the most energy because they are the ones who must first break up the air flow that provides the additional lift for all the other geese that follow. However, like the geese, they often find they need the synergy, energy, and collaboration that comes when they are part of a team, and want to return to the team.įact #3 – When the lead goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and another goose flies at the point position. Sometimes people working or playing on teams will drop out of the group and try to accomplish goals on their own. When a goose falls out of the v-formation it quickly discovers that it requires a great deal more effort and energy to fly. People who share a common goals and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the strength of one another.įact #2 – Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to fly alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front. By working together to achieve common goals, individuals arrive at the desired destination quicker and easier, because they are lifted up by the positive energy of others around them. The same can be said when people work harmoniously together on teams. Geese have discovered that they can reach their destination quicker and expend less energy when they fly together in v-formation. By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock adds 71 percent greater flying range than if one bird flew alone. Fact #1 – As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the birds following.
