Lead Like the Geese

Geese flock flying

These large birds, who fly great distances across continents, have three remarkable qualities. 

First, they rotate leadership. No one bird stays out in front all the time. 

Second, they choose leaders who can handle the turbulence. 

And then, all during the time one bird is leading, the rest are honking their affirmation.

–Bruce Larson, “Wind and Fire” talking about the Sandhill cranes. 

I challenge you to be like these birds and when you are not leading, you are affirming others. Nothing else. Just encourage others and watch what happens.
