If we look at geese when they migrate for the winter, we'll see that they fly in a V shape. You might be interested to know what science has discovered about why they fly that way.
It has been proven that when each bird flaps its wings, there is movement in the air that helps the bird behind it.
By flying in a V, the entire band increases by at least 71% more in power than if each bird flew alone.
Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it immediately feels the resistance of the air, realizes the difficulty of doing it alone, and quickly falls back into formation so that it can benefit from the power of the partner in front.
When the leader of the geese gets tired, he moves to another one of the back places and another goose takes his place. Geese behind honk to encourage those ahead to keep up their speed.
Finally, when a goose gets sick or is shot, two other geese drop out of formation and follow to help and protect it. They stay with it until it is able to fly again or until it dies, and only then do the two companions return to their flock or join another group.
Three great teachings of the geese:
– The important advantage of working in a group
– The need to know how to reassign leadership
– The value of encouraging and helping colleagues
