Transform from Crab Mentality to Geese Mentality

What is The Geese Project?

The Geese Project is a culture-based leadership program to assess, develop and transform the next generation of global Filipino leaders.

Why is it called Geese Project?

The Geese Project was derived from the natural flying behaviors of the Canadian Geese, as a metaphor for teamwork, team support and leadership. The aspirational vision of the Geese Project is to transition Filipino leaders from the Crab Mentality to the Geese Mentality.

Who is the Geese Project for?

The Geese Project is for high-potential Filipino managers and leaders, looking to elevate their leadership skills and accelerate their leadership transformation to world-class standards.

Why the Geese Project?

Filipinos are hitting the “leadership ceiling” due to a significant gap in our leadership skills, limiting our ability to compete and succeed in the new global economy. Self-awareness and mastery of the Geese Project leadership traits, are the key to bridging the leadership gap.

The Geese Project Leadership Model was purposedly designed with the Filipino profile in mind, integrating our legacy traits that significantly influence our leadership style and effectiveness. Mastery of these traits will result to sustainable character transformation versus short-term behavior modification.

Developing world-class Filipino leaders at all levels, is the key to the success of companies, communities, and our country.
