Working with Israelis - pros & cons

Funny article found by my “radar” - does generalize on Israelis…
Working with Israelis

The first step in working with Israelis is understanding what motivates them.
The biggest influence on the shaping the Israeli way-of -thought is the Israeli army.
Everyone in Israel joins the army at the age of 18 and leaves the army 3 years later (2 years for women).
This experience shapes the future employee work ethic and attitudes.
When employees in the UK office are given a task - it's a task.
In Israel - it's a mission. Every task is taken with the utmost seriousness. It must get done! Life or Death! Attack!!
Employees in the Israeli office will not go home until the task is done.


The truth about Israelis is that they are not too different from any other nations. There are so many types of them – hard workers and some lazy ones, creative and ungifted, tall and short, fat and thin…
We are all different…
