I am a big fan of teamwork. I don’t mean one person is working and everybody gets credits for it. Moreover I like if people are cooperating. Since I am working on my thesis I recognized how important it is to have a group of people around who manage to inspire each other and help each other if needed.
In the Emirates I found a really nice way of team work. Since the all taxis in the Emirates can drive you to all other cities within the Emriates it sometimes happens that the driver is not sure about direction. In this situation the drivers are either asking the next driver who always replies friendly and gives directions. In other cases the drivers have friends in the other city and asked them over the phone. Sometimes a driver tells me that he is happy to be able to go to the other city because then he can meet a friend for a short period of time. All drivers that I talked to arrived in Dubai and immediately went to drivers school- after one month they got their license. One guy needed two month because he did not pass the first time. I guess if you meet in Dubai at the beginning of your stay as a driver this is bonding. Usually they work seven days a week for about 16 hours every day. Considering this circumstances I am always surprised how awake and friendly they are.
