It sounds crazy, but managers responsible for running teams can learn a lot from flocks of geese. Flocks are very appropriate examples of how a team can achieve the same objectives as an individual, but with better efficiency and safety. Every aspect of the flock organization is focused on the achievement of a common goal. Every member knows the direction of the flock. Sharing the common direction makes assuming the leadership role easier.
Every member is willing to assume leadership when the flock needs it.
When the lead goose gets tired, a more energetic goose from back in the flock assumes the leadership position. This allows the geese to maintain the fastest pace possible. Followers encourage leaders. Members honk from the rear to encourage leaders to maintain a fast pace. Members look after each other, helping all members achieve the goal.
