~~|author=Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum~~

~~|title=Flashes of Thought: Lessons in life and leadership from the man behind Dubai~~

~~|rating=4~~

~~|genre=Politics and Society~~

|summary=At the beginning of the 20th century Dubai was a small port town, home to traders, fishermen and pearl divers and it was here that Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum was born in 1949 in a house with no electricity or running water. He's now the Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates and ruler of Dubai. It's his vision and driving force which is behind the transformation of Dubai into a major global city, tourist destination and trading centre. When you have regard to the unrest and volatility in much of the Middle East, what has been achieved in Dubai is extraordinary and the opportunity to read Sheikh Mohammed's thoughts on governance, leadership and life was not one to be passed up lightly, particularly as he's not a man to give interviews very often.
