    Five Lessons of the Geese

    FACT 1: As each goose flaps its wings it creates an uplift for

    the birds that follow. By flying in a "V" formation the whole

    flock adds 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew

    alone.

    LESSON 1: People who share a common direction and sense

    of community can get where they are going quicker and easier

    because they are travelling on the thrust of one another.

    FACT 2: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly

    feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It movesquickly back into formation to take advantage of the lifting

    power of the bird immediately in front of it.

    LESSON 2: If we have as much sense as a goose we stay

    in formation with those headed where we want to go. We

    are willing to accept their help and give our help to others.

    FACT 3: When the lead goose tires, it rotates back into

    formation and another goose flies to the point opposite.

    LESSON 3: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks

    and sharing leadership. As with geese, people areinterdependent on each other's skills, capabilities, and

    unique arrangements of gifts, talents or resources.

    FACT 4: The geese flying in formation honk to encouragethose up front to keep up their speed.

    LESSON 4: We need to make sure our honking is

    encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement theproduction is much greater. The power of encouragement (to

    stand by one's heart or core values, and encourage the heart

    and core of others) is the quality of honking we seek.

    FACT 5: When a goose gets sick, wounded or shot down, twogeese drop out of formation and follow it down to help and protect

    it. They stay with it until it dies or is able to fly again. Then, they

    launch out with another formation or catch up with the flock.

    LESSON 5: If we have as much sense as geese, we will stand by

    each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

    GooseSenseShare a Sense of direction

    Where are we going?Best way to determine that: Make a Road Map that

    marks your destination and the path to get there. Include

    mileage indicators so you know how youre progressing.

    Start by asking:Whose expectations should we be meeting?

    (whose interests are included in the trip? These are

    the stakeholders)

    What indicators do they expect us to have to

    demonstrate were moving to our destination?

    What measurements will indicate that were

    getting closer to, and finally reaching, our

    destination?

    In summary: PLANNING on the front end,

    IMPLEMENTING and MONITORING in themiddle, and CELEBRATING as destinations are

    reached successfullyall the while keeping group

    members and stakeholders INFORMED!

    Identify Essential Outcomes (KPIs)

    The Path to Discover Where were going:

    Assess External Environment

    Assess Internal EnvironmentAnalyze the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,

    and threats (SWOTs) as they relate to the

    essential outcomes

    Identify and assess ideas that will work to achieve

    essential outcomes

    Synthesize the ideas into strategies and goals Evaluate and reformulate

    the mission statement

    Develop milestones and yearly objectivesEvaluate quarterly

    GooseSenseEssential Outcomes

    (Key Performance Indicators, KPIs)Essential outcomes (KPIs) have only one definition throughout the

    organization (so, theyre easy to understand and everyone understands them

    the same way!)

    The essential outcomes represent the measures that your stakeholders and

    managers use to determine whether you are successful.

    There are two types. The first has to do with the measurement of a specific

    outcome of an essential activity of the organization over whichthe

    institution has control; essential activities are those that have direct

    bearing on the perceived well -being and success of the institution, thosethat are most essential to its survival and success. The second is more

    abstract and has to do with the measurement of conditions that affect the

    health and well being of an institution, a condition over which the

    organization has little or no control (like budget allocation from the

    legislature) or a considerable amount of control (like striving to be

    considered one of the top ten programs in the country)

    GooseSenseEssential Outcomes

    (Key Performance Indicators, KPIs)Measurement: Are the measures currently available or must they be

    collected

    Value: If the measure is currently available, what is the current value?

    (dont focus on what it should be, that happens later in the process0

    Level: Essential Outcomes must be prioritized. Some are not primary, they

    are secondary and contribute to a primary outcome. Its best for an

    organization finding its new way to focus on 10-15 outcomes (but no more

    than 20!).

    Definition: Define each Essential Outcome precisely. Dont worry aboutassigning current value until its well defined.

    Operationalize: When will new numbers be available, who will collect

    them, and who will be responsible for the calculations, reports, and

    distribution of reports?
