in case you didnt know it, Ive embarked on a study of the leadership style of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Ruler of Dubai and Vice President of UAE. I will be exploring ideas captured through snapshots and quotes from the mind of this fascinatingly inspiring and iconic leader of our time and I strongly recommend you read his writings in Spirit of the Union, My Vision and Flashes of Thought, all published by Moativate Publishing (booksarabia). Heres one for measure: Some time ago we received a delegation from the Japanese government. They wished to learn from our experience in providing a particular government service: land and property registration. In some countries this is a complex process that can take months or even seven years. When I told one of my colleagues about the visit, he was impressed by our achievement in creating a system so efficient that advanced nations such as Japan would like to emulate it. “I think you have reached the finish line, Your Highness,” he said. “Your teams deserve to celebrate and rest after such a dazzling success.” I disagreed. My recipe for success is continually to raise the bar whenever we reach our goals. It is right to feel proud of such achievements, but we may never feel satisfied. We must always aim higher in order to sustain our ambition and achieve excellence. So I replied: “Our definition of success has changed. We must look ahead now to the next generation of governments.”
