A
model to help promising young leaders achieve their potential has been launched
by Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid, Vice President and Ruler of Dubai.
Called
“The Leader of the 21st Century Model”, it has been launched for the UAE
Government Leaders Programme and is created by the UAE Government. Inspired by
the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed, it aims to strengthen the competencies and
leadership skills at the federal-Government level to build effective networking
among Government leaders and strengthen private-sector relations.
It
is also intended to provide leadership training and attract talent from the
public and private sectors.
The
most promising young leaders will be provided thorough leadership training to
hone their expertise and prepare them to evolve as distinguished leaders
nationally, regionally and globally.
“The
Leader of the 21st Century model which we have launched today marks a new phase
in building distinct national capacities based on innovation and knowledge as
we pursue efforts to serve our people and strengthen the position of our nation
at the global level,” Sheikh Mohammed said. “I believe in modernisation and
development across technological, scientific and economic fields, as well as
other areas.
“This
is imperative to keep pace with and anticipate rapid global changes, and to
ensure that we continue to be at the forefront of the global economy.”
He
pledged his faith in the young people of the country.
“I
believe in the youth of the nation and their abilities,” he said. “They are our
renewable wealth, and building their skills is a fundamental priority of our
nation.”
“We
must prepare our youth for the future and give them the tools that will enable
them to proceed ahead in the march of success as well as build on them to
create a better future for our citizens.”
He
described the challenges that will face leaders in the current century.
The
ideal leader of the 21st century is “extraordinary”, said Sheikh Mohammed,
“keeping up and staying ahead of the rapid changes around, and developing
effective and smart solutions to face the challenges”.
“The
leader of the 21st century is flexible and creative, and supports innovation
and creativity as well as encourages the team to embrace the new experiences
apart from finding innovative solutions to overcome the challenges.”
The
leaders of this generation should be able to work on entrepreneurial
innovations, solve problems and apply a global view to a situation while
navigating diversity, said Sheikh Mohammed.
Young
leaders will be taught through the programme how to build global networks and
access information and opportunities, with the goal of creating passionate
leaders who speak the truth and do the right thing for their employees and
stakeholders, a statement about the programme read. This is part of the
Government’s effort to strengthen the country’s global position and achieve the
UAE Vision 2021 goals.
The
new model was launched in the presence of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, Crown
Prince of Dubai, Mohammed Al Gergawi, Minister of Cabinet Affairs, and
representatives from the Dubai Department of Protocol and Hospitality, the
Prime Minister’s Office and the Cabinet. The team of the UAE Government Leaders
