Geese fly in a V formation to increase their flying range. By flying in formation, each goose creates uplift for the goose behind it, allowing the flock to travel up to 71% further than if each goose flew alone. Any goose that falls out of formation feels increased drag and quickly returns to its place. Just as geese work as a team by sharing leadership and encouraging each other, people can accomplish more by cooperating rather than trying to go it alone.
