When geese
fly in formation, they travel
about 70% faster than when they
fly alone.

Geese share leadership. When the lead
goose tires, he (or she) rotates back into the "V"
and another flies forward to become the leader.

Geese keep company with the fallen.

When a sick or weak goose drops
out of the flight formation,
at least one other goose
joins to help and protect.

By being part of a team,
we too can accomplish much more, much faster.
Words of encouragement and support
help inspire and energize those on the front lines,
helping them to keep pace in spite of the day-to-day
pressures and fatigue.

Finally, showing compassion and active caring
for our fellow man — a member of the ultimate team:
"MANKIND".

The next time you see a formation of geese,
remember that it is a reward, a challenge, and
a privilege to be a contributing member of a team.
