Chapter 1: Introduction

Dubai is considered one of seven emirates which make up the UAE and the second largest city after the Abu Dhabi. It is the most popular city of the UAE. It is situated on the Southeast coast of the Persian Gulf. It is also considered the capital of the Emirate of Dubai. Abu Dhabi and Dubai are two important cities that have the power over critical matters of the national importance in the legislature of the country. In today's scenario, Dubai has become the largest hub of the business and transport. It is only become possible due to the effective leadership and huge participation of the country government which is managed by Sheikh Mohammad. The economy of Dubai mainly based on the revenues from trade. Apart of this, it also earns some part of its economy from the Oil exploration concessions. Before 1966, the oil was not discovered in the country. It earned its first revenue from oil during 1969. Oil revenue helps the country in the acceleration of a huge income which directly goes in the development of the country. The reserve facilities of oil in Dubai are limited, and production level is low. Due to this, it only contributes to 5% of the total country revenue.

This paper mainly discusses the leadership of Sheikh Mohammed which enables the country to attain all these achievements in a short span of the time period after becoming the ruler of Dubai in 2006. Apart of this, the role of DSP in the development of the nations is also studied. This has been done under the light of certain facts and concepts. Moreover, DSP has been considered the driver of change in different sectors of the country. The way how DSP has influenced them also studied to collect the in-depth knowledge about the country growth and leadership qualities and style of the Sheikh Mohammad. The sectors in which the DSP influence measured includes economic and social development, security, and justice, safety, land, environment, infrastructure, and government excellence.

Generally, it can be said that the Dubai has currently attracted the attention of the world through launching a large range of innovative construction projects and sports events. It becomes iconic due to its skyscrapers or high-rise buildings like Burj Khalifa. It has been criticized for human rights violations regarding the city's largely Filipino and South Asian workforce. During the 2008-09, the property market of Dubai faced a major deterioration, but the economy of the Emirates has made a return to growth, with a project surplus budget of 2015. Therefore, it can be said that the country is doing good with proper legislations and control over projects.

The recent study is conducted as follows: the next chapter of the paper mainly describes the background of study which contains information about the leadership styles, DSP and profile of Sheikh Mohammed. The second, third, and fourth section will reflect the literature review, research design, and findings or outcomes.

Background of Study

The leadership is mainly as an art of influencing others and guides them effectively to earn their respect, cooperation, respect, and obedience towards a common goal. On the other hand, leadership style refers to the way in which a leader gives guidance, and motivation to others. The leadership style of Mohammad Sheikh will be also different from others. It is because a single person has a great quality of influencing the behavior, and mind set of others. Generally, different range of research scholars defined the leadership styles into different categories. These are; democratic, autocratic, bureaucratic, Laissez-Faire, and the charismatic leaders. All of these leadership styles have their great importance in the life of leaders. The type of leadership which they select mainly depends on their skills and requirements. A leader always shares the critical information to help the people in dealing with different problems and take a strategic decision. Adoption of these leadership styles guides the leaders about how they need to proceed further.
