V-formation

Experts have determined that the V-shaped formation that geese use when migrating serves two important functions: 

First, it conserves their energy. Each bird flies slightly above the bird in front, resulting in a reduction of wind resistance. They take turns being in the front, falling back when they get tired. In this way, the geese can fly for a long time before they must stop for rest. 

 

The second benefit is that it is easy to keep track of every bird in the group. Flying in formation assists with communication and coordination within the group. Fighter pilots use this formation for the same reason.

 

The natural unity that exists among geese illustrates the benefits of teamworking. Working together, individuals perform better due to the support system that comes along. The combined synergy is always greater than the sum of its parts.

 

Secondly, team must focus on communication and coordination within the team members. They must be able to see, listen and speak to each other. Connectivity adds to the power of the collective. After all, the V-formation empowers ‘we’.

 

Together we can, together we shall
V-formation takes to a greater call!
