OUR VALUES
THE GEESE MENTALITY
We consider partnership and teamwork an essential quality, we take inspiration from the many amazing lessons from the life of the geese. They understand the important of working together to achieve more and have a great understanding how encouragement goes a long way. They also are committed to each other, they will stand by each other through the good times and the bad.
Facts
-
Geese fly in a ‘V’ formation as it creates an uplift for the bird flying directly behind them, overall they achieve 71% greater flying range than if each bird was to fly alone.
-
When the lead goose becomes tired they then fly to the back of the ‘V’ formation, so each goose takes
a turn at leading, thus sharing the responsibility of the hard work. -
The geese in the back of the ‘V’ formation honk those on in front to encourage them to keep up their speed.
-
The most admirable quality of the geese is shown when one of them get sick or are wounded, two geese will drop away from the formation and follow the injured goose to protect and help it until it is strong enough to join the group again. Equally, if it’s going to die the two geese will not leave it’s side so it will not have to be alone when it dies.
