Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who laid the foundations of a government model rooted in innovation, proactivity, and creating positive societal change. Dr. Jarrar stressed that the book is not merely a documentation of the UAE's transformation journey, but an explicit call to adopt a leadership philosophy aligned with the country's principles and vision, where investing in people and developing their leadership skills constitutes a fundamental pillar for building a bright future. 'H.H. Sheikh Mohammed's experience in leadership offers a reference for decision-makers everywhere,' Dr. Jarrar added.

Al Marri continued.
