Lessons we can learn form
Geese ...
- Geese Fact : As each goose flaps its
wings, it creates an "uplift" for the other birds to follow.
By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds 70% greater
flying range than if each bird flew alone.
Our Lesson : People who share a common
direction and a sense of community get where they are going
quicker and easier -- because they are traveling on the thrust
of one another.
- Geese Fact : 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.
Our 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.
- Geese Fact : When a goose tires, it
rotates to the back of the formation as another goose flies to
the point opposite.
Our 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 arrangement of gifts, talents or resources.
- Geese Fact : The geese flying in
formation honk to encourage those up front to keep up their
speed.
Our Lesson : We need to make sure our
honking is encouraging. In groups -- where there is
encouragement to stand by one's heart or core values and
encourage the same in others -- is the sort of honking we
seek.
- Geese Fact : When a goose gets sick,
wounded or shot down, two geese drop out of formation and
follow it down to help and protect it. They stay with it until
it dies or is able to fly again. Then they launch out in
formation and try to catch the flock.
Our Lesson : If we had as much sense
as geese, we would stand by each other in difficult times as
well as when we are strong.
