Geese are an example of leadership. They teach us some valuable lessons. Geese take turns in leading the gaggle. As each bird moves it creates an uplift for the bird behind, thus making it much easier for her to fly. When the lead bird gets tired, she retreats and someone else takes the lead. If a bird gets injured, one or two geese stop to look after it. Geese present a model of shared leadership, teamwork, interdependence and working collaboratively for the success of the whole group. The lead bird’s wings are formulated with all the other geese in the gaggle who are soaring up through the sky as individual birds and at the same time as one single entity with a single mission.

The Story Behind
"If you want to walk fast, walk alone. But if you want to walk far, walk together.' - Ratan Tata
Canadian geese fly south every year before winter sets in. They fly in V formation and cover up to 1500 miles (2214 km) in a single day! This, by any stretch of the imagination is FAR!!
Hence traveling together is the only way it can be done, as Ratan Tata said.
This is possible only with sharing the responsibility of leading the pack and constantly supporting each other.
Why am I fascinated by geese even though they are quite a nuisance in many areas? I held the top leadership position of President of the New Brunswick Teachers Association. Hence, leadership examples, and how to lead are of great interest to me. This is the inspiration behind this painting.

Knowing where one wants to go, setting the goal and focusing on it are important in order to succeed. If one can eliminate distractions and stay focused on a single goal, success is not hard to attain. Sometimes it takes a young six-year old to remind us of this. It is based on a true story.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
