There has to be a reason why the gees formation is always V and not any other way. If by some strange means “nature” has given them the sense to use the V formation, as well as to know when to and where to go to in time for the weather changes, then I would be surprised if the same “nature” would not endow them with more unknown means such as honking in such a great time of need as when they have to travel long distances.

I had a secondary mystery explained to me by a hick neighbor. We were out walking and saw geese overhead. I asked why, if formation was mere exploitation of aerodynamics, one side of the “V” was always longer than the other. He said, “More geese on that side.”

I believe that even the best well-known orthinologist will never be able to understand why birds fly in certain formations. Only when man can actually communicate with the geese should we then be able to understand the mystery behind it. And maybe it’s the unique flight formation that protects them from other big birds of prey like the eagles.

I can’t believe how some people always have some negative interpretation of facts or legends or myths. The point of the story is not about the geese… Get the message. I can’t speak for this particular author but I can speak as a management consultant. People pulling in the same direction accomplish their goal faster than those who pull in many different directions (physics). The main problem I have experienced is the goal is often not planned very well so…
The second message – stay in formation – in business advises people to “not rock the boat”, “follow the leader” etc… I have observed that this discourages people from speaking up when they see a problem. I encourage everyone to speak up when they see a problem but they must suggest a solution – no fair just complaining.
The third message – to share the workload – simply means to allocate the work so the project completes within the appropriate timeframe. Sometimes it is counter-productive to employ two “experts” to a job one is capable of doing.
The fourth message I’ll interpret as encouragement. Whether geese do it or not showing sincere appreciation goes a long way to keeping people motivated.
The final message I see in two ways – cohesive team and loyalty. I like the cohesive team idea. Loyalty often suggests going along with something you don’t agree with for the sake of the team. I prefer the idea of raising an issue with an alternative solution…
In conclusion, I prefer to take the good from what is said rather than complain about what is wrong with what is said. But a positive alternative interpretation is always beneficial…it can be evaluated against the goal and adopted or dismissed.
