Is the Canada Goose the perfect CEO?
Is the Goose the perfect CEO, teammate and achiever, all in one?
Like a good leader, Geese strive for co-operation and always seem to have the objectives and the destination in mind. They know exactly where they are going and have a strategy for getting there.
Like a team of high achievers, Geese achieve more in shorter times because of the strength they offer to each other.
The entire group goes much further than a single goose because of the communal wing uplift created when flying in ‘V’ formation.
By flying in a V formation, they increase their flying range by 70% versus flying alone!
What’s even better is there’s no jealousy of the leaders.
When the lead goose tires it goes to the back of the pack to rest and benefit from this communal wing uplift. Another goose takes over.
This is smart because it’s not up to one individual to struggle and suffer to lead. Most importantly, the group still achieves their goals.
They communicate regularly. The honking of the geese from behind represents our communication and making sure we encourage rather than command or intimidate.
Standing together when times get tough
When a goose becomes injured along the journey, 2 other geese stay with them. This is very courageous and speaks strongly to their cooperation and community priorities. That’s the sense of the Goose.
The Goose is symbolic of the protector and the watcher. If you need time to heal, you shouldn’t go it alone!
Family and friends are always cared for and protected. If anything gets too close, the goose warns you and will bite. This is why the goose often symbolizes the warrior spirit, protection and bravery.
Call on the spirit of the Goose when you need to find your purpose.
If you feel like you’ve lost your way and you need a little assistance discovering it, you can call on the spirit of the goose.
The goose will help you engage in self discovery.
When you’ve lost your focus…
- or you’ve grown restless in your current situation…
- or you’ve put yourself on the backburner too long…
- or you’ve found yourself in an environment that isn’t serving you…
... the goose wants you to experience your purpose.
You see, it is common for the Goose to break from the community to go on a personal quest at least once in their life seeking out their destiny.
Whether this is near or far, an escape may be necessary to realize your soul’s mission… to make sure the choice is yours and not what someone else wishes for you.
The goose will give you focus, smarts and strength to see your journey to the end.
