(Dubai) – The American University in Dubai (AUD) hosted a top-level panel discussion on Monday, launching the English edition of the latest book by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
Three of the UAE’s most prominent public figures captivated an audience of more than 900 AUD students and faculty with reflections on Sheikh Mohammed’s school of thought and leadership style. They shared personal stories about working with Sheikh Mohammed at key moments of Dubai’s growth story.
The event marked the publication in English of Flashes of Thought, a diverse collection of personal reflections inspired by an audience dialogue session at the Government Summit in February 2013. In the book, Shaikh Mohammed explores the ideas, principles and experiences that have defined his leadership role in the development of Dubai and the UAE, as well as his personal journey as an Arab statesman on the world stage.
