Leading as if Life Depends on You


In honor of Earth Day, it is helpful to remember our dependence on the natural world. Leaders at all levels and locations have a special role in guiding sustainable practices, helping people work together in ways that affirm life. Like geese, we depend on each other for our survival.

Leaders take turns guiding the team, helping others lead when the leader needs to reflect before acting. Geese fly together in a flexible formation that changes to meet the needs of the situation. Geese talk together to stay connected.
