Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. The book reflects His Highness’s ambitious vision to establish a comprehensive management approach to enable government officials to continue achieving excellence and leadership across all sectors.

Ali Sebaa Al Marri said: “The Ten Commandments of Governance book is set out to shape a comprehensive scientific approach, which will serve as a reference for students and government officials when dealing with different challenges, to which they can find solutions through the futuristic vision outlined by His Highness.”

Al Marri added: “MBRSG has launched the ‘Implementation of the Ten Commandments of Governance” programme toshare with the world insights into the UAE’s leading government system and transform it into a comprehensive scientific training curriculum to continue the journey of excellence in government work in the UAE and the region.

Prof. Raed Awamleh said: “The commandments of H.H. Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid constitute an advanced framework that includes an unconventional approach to government work. This is what inspired us to create this book and make it available for students, officials, employees and the community as a comprehensive administrative reference book. It allows them to draw on the philosophy of His Highness in governance, which we see reflected in the growth and development of Dubai and the UAE, and its leading position in global competitiveness indexes.”

The book also contains examples of world government systems, which complement the book’s content.”
