2.7 Teamwork
Lessons From Geese
Lesson #1 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.
Lesson #2 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.
Lesson #3 When the lead goose gets tired it moves to the back of the formation and another goose takes over the lead.
-
Lesson #5 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. They stay with that member until they are well enough to fly again or dies. They then head out on their own or join another formation or catch up with their own flock.

Dysfunctional Team Issues 
Groupthink:
Groupthink sets in when group members are more concerned with consensus (often due to rushing, need for pleasing other members, harmony, or lack of caring)
members try to minimize conflict and reach consensus without critically testing, analyzing, and evaluating ideas
Individual creativity, uniqueness, and independent thinking are lost
Groupthink is defined as a way of deliberating that group members use when their desire for unanimity overrides their motivation to assess all available plans of action.
