lose?”

Define clear expectations of what it
means to win or lose at each level of
the organization
Install visual management systems to
align activities and see problems in real
time
“How can I help you win
more often?”
“If we are losing, what are we
doing about it?”
Engage management through
reaction protocol, coaching and
standard follow up
Engage employees through teambased problem solving, daily kaizen

There was a time when the
lone eagle on the Mountain
was a popular symbol for
leadership

Everyone is Aligned
A flock of Geese will fly
thousands of miles in a
perfect V formation-and
therein lies the secret: As
each bird moves its great
wings, it creates an uplift for
the bird following. Formation
flying is 70% more efficient
than flying alone.

Everyone Leads
At a distance, the flock appears to
be guided by a single leader. The
lead bird does in fact guide the
formation, winging smoothly and
confidently through the oncoming
elements. If the lead bird tires,
however, it rotates back into
formation and another bird moves
quickly to the point position.
Leadership is willingly shared, and
each bird knows exactly where the
entire group is headed.

Everyone Cares
•In good times or bad, Great
Northern Geese stand by
each other. When a member
of the flock gets sick or
wounded, two geese drop
out of formation and follow it
down to help and protect it.
They stay with it until it is
able to fly again. Then they
soar off together to catch up
with the flock
