Geese fly in a V formation to increase flying range and make migration easier. By flying closely together, each goose benefits from reduced wind resistance from the birds in front. If a goose falls out of formation, it encounters greater drag from flying alone. Geese also support sick or injured flock mates, staying with them until they can fly again or providing protection if they die. The passage suggests that people should work as a team like geese, taking turns with difficult tasks and sharing leadership, to achieve goals more easily.
