Publishers Description: It's almost impossible not to be aware of Dubai today. Over just three generations and mostly within the past half century this tiny emirate has raised its profile globally through a range of bold developments and clever ideas such as its free zones for business that have made it a regional centre for many firms, its annual air show and, most recently, its development as a tourist centre that is home to some of the most stunning hotels in the world. Dubai owes its success to a number of things, including * Leadership that is visionary, inspirational and embraces risks * Leadership that is demanding but supportive, that builds confidence * Leanness of organizational structure and bureaucracy, which helps to speed things up * Openness to outside influence and competition, and to the views of all stakeholders. * Openness of communication channels and access to decision-makers * A business culture founded on trust These are all things that any organisation can benefit from
