Vision

Their eyes are specially designed for long distance focus and clarity.  A clear and focussed vision guides the team towards its goals.

Fearless

They never surrender to the size or strength of its prey. It always fights to win or regain its territory.

Tenacious

When other birds fly away from the storm, they spread their mighty wings and use the currents to soar to greater heights.

Objective

They can fly up to an altitude of 10,000 feet, but they are able to swiftly land on the ground. At 10, 000 feet, you will never find another bird. 

Nurturing
