Have you seen geese in flight?

V formation, adds up to 71 % more flying range than if the geese flew

separately.

People who share a common direction and a sense of belonging to one

another can go farther together than alone.


3/22

Have you got goose sense?

Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it quickly gets back into formation torecover the lifting effect of the bird immediately in front.

If youve got any geese sense, you wont mind staying close to someone


4/22

How about sharing responsibility?

When the goose in the lead gets tired, it rotates back into the group, and

another goose takes its place in the leadShared leadership makes sense.


5/22

How do you communicate?

All the geese in the formation honk to encourage the one in the lead to keepup the speed.

You choose how you communicate up to the leader. You can honk or youcan whine


6/22

How about being there for other?

When a goose gets sick or shot down, two geese will drop out of theformation and follow the wounded one down to help and protect it.

We were all made to be with others.


7/22
