150 - Los Juegos Olímpicos

For the next 6+ episodes we're going to be going into details about Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions. This research changed my life when I first learned about it over 10 years ago, giving me a true sense of what culture is, and what the subtle differences in culture are between countries at the fundamental level. More than just knowing that one country or culture does something 'this' way and another does it 'that' way, learning about Hofstede's dimensions can help you to truly understand the WHY.

-PART 11️⃣
The story is told by a former airline employee and is set on December 31, 1987. A woman is late for her flight and stops a plane about to take off by kneeling in front of the captain. The complicity of this exchange of glances is the same that a hitchhiker has with the driver. The plane stops . Happy ending .
