1. As each goose flaps its wings it creates an 'uplift' for the bird that follow. By flying in a 'V' formation the whole flock adds 71% extra flying range.
Lesson - People who share a sense of community can help eachother get where they are going more easily... because they are travelling on the trust of one another.
2. When a goose falls out of formation it suddenly feels the 'drag' and resistance of flying alone, it quickly moves back to take advantage of THE LIFTING POWER of the birds in front.
Lesson - If we have as much sense as geese 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.
3. When the lead goose tires it drops back in to the formation, and another goose flies to the point position.
Lesson - It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks. We should respect and protect each others unique arrangement of skills, capabilities, talents and resources.
4. The Geese flying in formation HONK to encourage those up front to keep up with their speed.
Lesson - We need to make sure our honking is encouraging. In games where there is encouragement production is much greater. Individual empowerment results from quality HONKING.
5. When a goose gets sick two geese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect it.
Lesson - If we have as much sense as geese we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.
