Leadership Dubai and horses

What have leadership, Dubai and horses in common?

First, let's have a look at what Dubai stands for.
It will mean a lot of different things to different people.

To me, Dubai symbolises in many ways the modern world.

Not just because of it's high rise buildings, futuristic highways, sophisticated infrastructure or the revolutionary real estate projects.

The city to me also stands for a modern world where different religions and nations live together in harmony.
Where a government's vision is to create an environment in which people can be happy, positive, and thus work creatively and productively.

What is the connection to horses?

In my years in Dubai I have seen Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai, as well as his sons many times at equine events.
They are passionate horsemen, truly enjoying "the sports of kings".

And now think about how already thousands of years ago future kings, rulers, and other monarchs were trained in their leadership skills with horses.

Why was it so important that they first conquered the horse before they were allowed to reign?

What can horses teach us?

Horses can teach us many noble skills:

Respect.
Trust.
Compassion.
Responsability.
Honesty.
Clarity.

All skills that are key to a good leader.
A leader others want to follow, who leads by example and who is devoted to his people.
