MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES — RISING TO THE NEXT LEVEL

Think of geese flying in formation or professional cyclists working together in a team time trial. In both instances, there is a “leader of the pack” who exerts the bulk of the effort for a short period of time while their “teammates” draft behind them, exerting less effort. After short periods of time, the “leader” drops to the back to “re-energize,” allowing another team member to rotate to the front to carry the bulk of the load. The net result is significant efficiency improvements with a lot less overall effort exerted— synergy at its best.
