LESSONS OF THE GEESE
33
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• In the fall when you see geese heading south for
  the winter flying along in the "V" formation,

34
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• you might be interested in knowing what science
  has discovered about why they fly that way.

35
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• It has been learned that as each bird flaps its
  wings, it creates uplift for the bird immediately
  following.

36
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock
  adds at least 71 greater flying range than if
  each bird flew on its own.

37
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• Quite similar to people who are part of a team
  and share a common direction get where they are
  going quicker and easier,

38
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• because they are traveling on the trust of one
  another and lift each other up along the way.

39
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it
  suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying
  to go through it alone,

40
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• and quickly gets back into formation to take
  advantage of the power of the flock.

41
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• If we have as much sense as a goose, we will stay
  in formation and share information with those who
  are headed in the same way that we are going.

42
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back
  in the wings and another goose takes over.  
• It pays to share leadership and take turns doing
  hard jobs.

43
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• The geese honk from behind to encourage those up
  front to keep their speed.

44
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• Words of support and inspiration help energize
  those on the front line, helping them to keep
  pace in spite of the day-to-day pressures and
  fatigue.

45
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• It is important that our honking be encouraging.
   
• Otherwise it's just well
• honking!

46
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded and
  falls out, two geese fall out of the formation
  and follow the injured one down to help and
  protect him.

47
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• They stay with him until he is either able to fly
  or until he is dead, then they launch out with
  another formation to catch up with their group.

48
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• When one of us is down, it's up to the others to
  stand by us in our time of trouble.

49
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by
  each other when things get rough

50
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• We will stay in formation with those headed where
  we want to go.

51
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• The next time you see a formation of geese,
• remember their message

52
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• "IT IS INDEED A REWARD,
• A CHALLENGE AND  
• A PRIVILEGE  TO BE
• A CONTRIBUTING  MEMBER OF A TEAM"

53
LESSONS OF THE GEESE

• Now
• thats what
• we call
• Team Spirit
