Teamwork

Geese and other migratory birds fly in formation patterns to reduce drag which ultimately reduces fatigue that these birds inevitably experience during long flights. The lead bird feels the full brunt of the oncoming wind while the others behind experience less drag, and as a result, formations of birds can fly significantly further when working together as a team as compared to flying alone. The lead bird then drops back and works its way to the end of the formation and the second bird assumes the lead role. A very interesting article on Leadership Lessons from Geese can be read here: http://www.thepracticeofleadership.net/2006/07/18/leadership-lessons-from-geese Sometimes looking towards the natural world can emphasize the importance of working together to achieve a common goal.
