What does the head geese effect mean?

The head goose effect refers to the geese that lead the flight in the flock. They have the courage and wisdom to break through the sky and overcome all difficulties and obstacles. The geese flying in front play a leading role, and other geese obey the leadership and work together to form a joint force. Everyone flies to their destination in the best way with the same goal.

This behavior of geese contains scientific truth: the V-shaped wind wall reduces the overall efforts of geese, and the leading geese face the wind, and the influence of airflow on the geese flying behind them will be weakened, so it is effortless to fly.

The leading geese can't stay in the position of the tuyere for a long time, which is why the geese flying behind frequently and orderly change their positions. Finally, every goose has a chance to become a leader.

The "head geese effect" means that a person is ahead in something, and when it is used in social development, it means an event or thing that leads the development direction in social development. In the queue effect of geese, geese fly in the sky, usually in herringbone formation or oblique formation, and regularly exchange left and right positions.

Biologists have come to the conclusion that the flying formation of geese is the fastest and most labor-saving way for them to fly, because the wings of the last geese can save labor by using the aerodynamic force generated by the wings of the previous geese. After a period of time, they switch positions left and right, so that the other wing can also use aerodynamic force to relieve fatigue.

Management experts apply this interesting flying principle of geese to the research of management, which is vividly called "flying geese effect".
