This posting from Fred Langford said it all, I am starting this thread to hopefully carry foward in the spirit in which it was written. From: Frederick Langford In the fall when you see geese heading south for the winter flying along in the "V" formation, you might be interested in knowing what science has discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a "V" formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. PEOPLE WHO ARE PART OF A TEAM AND SHARE A COMMON DIRECTION GET WHERE THEYARE GOING QUICKER AND EASIER, BECAUSE THEY ARE TRAVELING ON THE TRUST OFONE ANOTHER. Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go through it alone and quickly gets back intoformation to take advantage of the power of the flock. IF WE HAVE AS MUCH SENSE AS A GOOSE, WE WILL SHARE INFORMATION WITH THOSE WHO ARE HEADED THE SAME WAY WE ARE GOING. When the lead goose gets tired, he rotates back in the wing and another goose takes over. IT PAYS TO SHARE LEADERSHIP AND TAKE TURNS DOING HARD JOBS. The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed. WORDS OF SUPPORT AND INSPIRATION HELP ENERGIZE THOSE ON THE FRONTLINE, HELPING THEM TO KEEP PACE IN SPITE OF THE DAY-TO-DAY PRESSURES AND FATIGUE. Finally, when a goose gets sick or is wounded by a gunshot and falls out, two geese fall out of the formation and follow the injured one down to help and protect him. They stay with him until he is either able to fly or until he is dead, and then they launch out with another formation to catch up with their group. IF WE HAVE THE SENSE OF A GOOSE, WE WILL STAND BY EACH OTHER WHEN THINGS GET ROUGH. The next time you see a formation of geese, remember: IT IS A REWARD, A CHALLENGE AND A PRIVILEGE to be a contributing member of a TEAM. Fred | ||||||||||||
