Teamwork

1. Canadian geese fly in a V formation which increases their flight efficiency by 71% compared to flying alone. Each goose benefits from the updraft of the bird in front of it, making the long migration south easier. 2. The geese demonstrate teamwork and take advantage of each other's strengths. If a goose falls out of formation, it quickly returns to benefit from the flock. They also provide help and protection to injured or sick geese until they can fly again. 3. The leadership role is shared, with different geese taking turns at the point position. They communicate constantly and encourage each other to keep up the pace. Working together as a team, they can achieve more than any goose

The Secret

Amazing TEAMWORK

It takes TEAMWORK

Their teamwork is obvious.

The V formation

The V Formation
takes advantage of the updraft created
by the goose in front of them
Less tiring to fly long distances
Take advantage of each others strength

increases flight efficiency by 71%


compared to a single goose flying alone
More distance covered by flying together
Each one performs better

Flying TOGETHER
increases flight efficiency by 71%

compared to
Flying ALONE

When a goose leaves the


formation..

He feels the full resistance of the a


and the difficulties of flying alone..

Then, he quickly comes back to


the formation to take advantage
of the flocks power in front of
him ..

The flock moves as a single unit.


There is safety in numbers

Predators prey on the isolated


Wing movement is synchronized
There is strength in harmony
Everyone keeps the pace
There is momentum in consistency

COORDINATED MOVEMENT

A team is only as strong as its weakest member.


Winning Teams know how to :
develop individual COMPETENCE

(natural talents) of members

Winning Teams understand that :

when you GROW the INDIVIDUAL,


you will grow the TEAM

when you take care of the TEAM,


the team will take care of the DREAM

Work on the members strengths and abilities

Never try to teach a pig to sing. It


wastes your time and annoys the
pig.

Winners Edge : Attitude


Attitude is more important than FACTS, than the
PAST, than SUCCESSES, than WHAT OTHER
PEOPLE think or say or do, than APPEARANCE,
than GIFTEDNESS or SKILL. 10% is what
happens to me. 90% is how I react to it.
--Chuck Swindoll
As a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
-- Proverbs 23:7

23

When a goose gets sick, is


injured or gets tired

24

And he must leave the formation...

25

Other geese leave the


formation too, and they fly
with him to help him out
and protect him.
They remain with him until
he dies or is able to fly
again.

10. A winning team demonstrates


LOYALTY

11. Despite casualties, mistakes


or victories, a Winning Team
keeps MOVING FORWARD.
Even if you are on the right track, youll get
run over if you just sit there.
--Will Rogers
Never look back unless that is where you
want to go.

Winners Attitude : Keep on Going


ENTHUSIASM and PERSISTENCE can make
an average man superior. INDIFFERENCE and
LETHARGY can make a superior person
average.
--William Ward
The race is won at the FINISH LINE
not the STARTING BLOCK
The race is not always to the SWIFT
but to those who KEEP ON GOING

29

In difficult times winners understand


that :
In the middle of DIFFICULTY lies OPPORTUNITY.
--Albert Einstein
You must BE INVOLVED to have an impact. No one
is impressed with the win-loss record of the
REFEREE.
--John H. Holcomb.
I can EXPECT FAILURE, everyone fails at
something. But I cant accept NOT TRYING.
--Michael Jordan
