    Geese fly in a V formation because it allows them to travel farther than if they flew alone. Each goose creates uplift for the one behind it, increasing the flock's total flying range by 71%. Any goose that falls out of formation feels increased drag and resistance, quickly rejoining the V. Like geese working as a team, people can reach their goals more easily by sharing a direction, community sense, taking turns with difficult tasks, and sharing leadership.

    LESSONS FROM GEESE

    Author Unknown – shared by Pamela Richards-Green, April 30, 2009

    Have you ever wondered why migrating geese fly in a ‘V’


    formation?

     As with most animal behavior, God had a good reason for


    including that in their instincts
     As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird following.
     In a ‘V’ formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% more flying
    range than if each bird flew alone.
     Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag
    and resistance of trying to fly alone.. and quickly gets back into
    formation.
     Like geese… people who share a common sense of direction and
    sense of community can get where they are going quicker and
    easier than those who try to go it alone.
     When a goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation and
    another goose flies at the point position. If people had as much
    sense as geese, they would realize that ultimately their success
    depends on working as a team, taking turns doing the hard tasks,
    and sharing leadership.
