I would say that the key to success in Dubai is to be humble in your approach and yet bold and adventurous with your vision. Dubai embraces people with imagination and innovative ideas and expects quality and excellence in return. If you can combine all those, the world is waiting for you.
I would also say that as a proud nation the UAE has been nothing short of phenomenal over the last thirty years – so remember where you are, work closely with the Emirati community, and stay aligned with the country’s ambitions. If you can be seen as a force for helping Dubai to continue to win for another thirty years you will have an amazing journey.
In the healthcare sector specifically, Dubai is competitive and as an operator you need to differentiate yourself and provide outstanding patient experiences. At CMC Hospital, we are succeeding because of our emphasis on recruiting world-class doctors, focusing heavily on patient care, and creating an environment and experience which help patients navigate the difficult challenges that we all face from time to time.
None of this is possible without teamwork and an amazing culture. That’s true of all organisations. At CMC, our success is very much shared success.
