Teamwork strongly inspired by leadership

1. Ah!... If among friends or colleagues We were like geese!!!

2. During the next season, When you see the geese migrating, going to warmer places to spend the winter Watch them fly in “V” formation Perhaps you are interested in knowing why they do so...

3. When flying in “V” formation ...

4. ... The entire group increases in 71% the range of the flight compared to one bird flying alone.

5. Lesson 1: Sharing the same direction and bound of the group Allows them to arrive faster and easier to the destiny By helping each other the results are better

6. When one goose leaves the formation...

7. It feels the air resistance and the difficulty to fly alone

8. . Thus... it returns quickly to the formation, to get leverage from the lifting power of the front flyers.

9. Lesson 2: By keeping united and in synchrony close to those who guide us to the same direction, the effort will be lesser. It will be easier and more pleasant to reach the goals. We will be more willing To accept and offer help.

10. When the leader goose gets tired...

11. ... It moves to the end of formation while another takes over the leading place

12. Lesson 3: Share the leadership and respect each other at all times Split the problems and the most difficult tasks Blend skills and capabilities Combine gifts, talents, and resources.

13. g g g g g g The geese when in formation honk the flight all along... It’s to encourage and transmit confidence To the front flyers ahead for they shall remain in the same speed.

14. g g g g g g Lesson 4: When there are encouragement and support The progress is larger and more visible. A nice word of support at the right moment helps, push forward, and brings the best of benefits.

15. When one goose gets sick, hurt , or just tired...

16. And may leave the formation...

17. Others leave the formation and follow through to help and protect it They stand by until its death or, if recovered, capable to fly again Then they will catch up with the group or will join another formation

18. Lesson 5: Be united and close to one another despite all the differences, in bad or tough moments Be friendly and supportive even during work hours to strengthen the best of each flyer.

19. If we stand by each other united and supportive if the teamwork evolves and we stick strong together and willing to face all troubles if we understand how friendship is precious and critical and we are willing to share Then life will be simpler, easier and the flight delightful!
