Geese fly in a V formation to increase flying range. By flapping its wings, each goose creates uplift for the goose behind it, allowing the flock to fly 71% further than if each bird flew alone. Any goose that falls out of formation feels increased drag from flying solo, encouraging it to quickly return. Like geese working as a team, people achieve more when sharing a common direction and supporting each other rather than trying to go it alone. Geese also take turns leading and encourage those in front to keep up the pace, teaching us the value of shared leadership and encouragement.
