You undoubtedly saw a flock of geese flying overhead. How do the following behaviors of this species provide insight about leadership? A. As each bird flaps its wings, it creates uplift for the bird behind by using a “V” formation. The whole flock adds 71 percent more flying range than if each bird flew alone. B. When one gets sick or wounded or shot down, two birds drop out of formation and follow their fellow member down to help or provide protection. They stay with this member of the flock until it can fly again or dies. Then they launch out on their own, with another formation or to catch up with their own flock.
