Geese fly in ‘V’ shape formation. The wisdom of geese flying
in this formation is often quoted to highlight the importance of working in a
team and the importance of working together.
Once a crow saw these birds flying in V shape and was
wondering where are they going in a group. Everyone is silent and flipping wings
once in a while. Curiosity forced the crow to fly near the last bird and asked,
“Where are you going?” The last bird was bit irritated and said, “How will I
know ask the bird before me, I am just following the bird before me.” The crow moved towards
that bird and asked the same question, to the surprise of the crow that bird
too gave the same answer, “How will I know ask the bird before me, I am just
following the bird before me.” So the crow moved to the third bird before the last and asked
the same question and received the same answer.
Finally it reached the bird
behind the first one and asked the question where are going?. The bird said, “The
one who is flying first is the leader, he should know where we are going, so go and ask him”.
Thus the
crow went to the first bird in the formation and asked, “You are the leader of
this pack of birds, can you tell me where are you going?” the first bird in
total frustration answered, “I am not the leader, and I am not leading this
pack, they are the ones who are pushing me forward, so go and ask them where
are we going”
Quite few of the organizations are efficient and working in
co-ordination. The only problem is that no one knows where they are headed and
for what purpose.
