About Lesson

1. Empathy:

Empathy means understanding and sharing the feelings of others. It’s a powerful tool for creating better relationships with colleagues and passengers.

  • With Colleagues:
    • Recognize that everyone faces challenges on the job, whether it’s handling delays or dealing with difficult passengers.
    • Offer support when a colleague is visibly stressed or frustrated. A simple, “I’ve been there—let me know if you need anything,” can make a difference.
  • With Passengers:
    • Try to see things from their perspective. For example, a passenger may be upset because they’re running late for an important appointment.

2. Collaboration:

Working well with colleagues ensures smoother operations and a better experience for everyone.

  • Share Knowledge: Offer tips or advice to new drivers or colleagues struggling with certain routes or challenges.
  • Support Each Other: Volunteer to swap shifts or assist when a colleague needs help.
  • Communicate Openly: Share concerns or suggestions respectfully during team meetings to improve operations collectively.
