Introduction Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the prime minister and the vice president of the UAE, came into power in 2006 following the death of his brother Sheikh Maktoum. Since he took office, he has undertaken incredible reforms to the Dubai government. In 2010, he set out the Vision 2021 for Dubai whose main objective entailed ensuring that the UAE could emerge one of the best nations around the globe (Maktoum, 2012). As the ruler of Emir of Dubai and the UAE, he is the vision carrier. This responsibility is reflected by his central role in steering Dubai’s growth to become the most preferred global city for tourism and business destination (Maktoum, 2012). This paper analyzes Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s leadership with the goal of identifying his leadership behaviors, including his weaknesses and strengths based on situations in which such behaviors are showcased. Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s Leadership Behaviors Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum portrays a transformational leadership behavior. Drawing his discussion from the transformational leadership theory, Bass and Steidlmeier (2002) argue that transformational leaders enjoy all they do while in the line of duty. The scholars also assert that such leaders put their personal concerns aside while executing their work to help in achieving their vision. Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum evidences this behavior considering his achievements such as setting out a clear strategic plan that detailed the UAE’S Vision 2021. Through the vision, Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum sees the UAE as completely transformed to become the best global city (Maktoum 2012). The transformational leadership behavior of Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum is evidenced by Dubai’s competitive position to host events that seek to highlight the municipality’s capacity to become a major global city. Expo 2020 Dubai (2016) reveals, “Expo 2020 Dubai will be a monument to the Green Economy, a landmark in sustainable development, and will contribute to the BIE legacy as one of the most sustainable Expos in history” (para.5). Hence, Dubai’s 2020 Expo will be an attempt to display how cities can execute their daily activities in planetary responsible ways. Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum has evidenced a clear promise to transform the lives of the less fortunate people. As a result, Al Maktoum’s transformational behavior is supported by his strong commitment to corporate responsibility. For example, he initiated the UAE-Pakistan assistance program to help the nation (Pakistan) to rebuild itself following the heavy flooding in 2011. He has also provided aid to Palestine and Afghanistan to help individuals who are affected by the ongoing war (Maktoum, 2012). In 2007, he made public a plan for donating $10 billion in setting a foundation for education in the Middle East (Maktoum, 2012). He noted that the money came to help in bridging educational gaps between the Arab world and the developed nations. His transformational behavior is appropriate considering that the UAE plays a strategic role in the Middle East’s geopolitical, economic, and social matters.
