The 5 lessons learned from geese about teamwork are: flying in formation increases efficiency and speed, helping one another, replacing leaders when tired, honking to encourage teamwork, and supporting sick or wounded members.

The presentation defines a successful team using the acronym TEAMWORK: talents, enthusiasm, adaptability, mutual respect, working together, organization, recognition, and knowledge.
