Teamwork Lessons from Geese
When the lead goose gets tired it moves to the back of the formation and another goose takes over the lead. This shows us that good teams understand that it pays to take turns at the harder tasks and sharing the lead.
Geese honk to encourage those in front to maintain the speed and work rate. This demonstaights that it is important to encourage others to keep going
When a goose falls out of formation it feels the drag as it is no longer feeling the benefit of the lift described in lesson one. It works hard to get back into the formation to get the full benefit once again and rejoin the group. When people are alone they can not feel support so you must try to get back in the group if you "fall out".
If a goose gets sick or wounded, two geese drop out of the formation and follow the bird to the ground. They do this to provide protection. This shows us that a team stands by each other. They support the ‘weaker members’ and stand by them through difficult times.
When geese fly, they fly in a V formation. As each goose flaps its wings it provides uplift for the geese that are behind making git easier for them to fly longer distances. Working together benefits everyone when there is a common goal.
What is Groupthink
Groupthink is a tendency for highly cohesive teams to lose their evaluative capabilities
