When the environment changes, the elder
geese will lead the team to the next
destination. They leverage the power from
each other, thus they arrive at the next
destination faster and more easily.
Lesson 1:
When any goose leaves the team by accident,
ying alone is much more di cult than
ying together. Team members will nd out
and bring the missing one back to the team.
Lesson 2:
When the leader becomes tired, some other
goose will back-up so the team will not slow
down.
Lesson 3:
The last goose always ”honks” to encourage
the whole team to move forward. Not only
the leader but all members in the team are
important.
Lesson 4:
Wisdom from the Great Nature –
Lessons from Flying Geese
ZyXEL’s 20th anniversary logo is inspired by the ying formation of migrating geese.
