His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President of the UAE, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, affirmed that there is no final destination for development, and our goal is to become one of the best nations and governments. In his timeless words shared in a video on his TikTok account, he stated: "We are still far off, and we want to be among the best nations and governments. The challenges do not stop us, but for those who wish to succeed, they will succeed." Thanks to his vision, government entities in the country have become centers for anticipating and shaping the future, transforming challenges into opportunities that achieve sustainability in growth, development, and competitiveness, while gathering the best minds in strategic sectors.
His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has elevated government work to the highest levels of global competition, establishing an integrated system of excellence and quality in government performance. Key tools of work in the UAE government, which have placed it among the advanced governments of the world, include outstanding performance, innovation and creativity, flexibility, credibility, and transparency, as well as performance indicators, teamwork, and a positive environment. The use of technology and artificial intelligence to serve humanity, meet the aspirations of those interacting with government services, achieve their satisfaction, and make them happy through smart services available around the clock, characterized by ease of use, have also been emphasized. He previously stated: "Developing systems of government administration is the greatest service that a person can provide to their homeland, society, and nation, because improving them brings significant leaps in all areas of life."
This brilliant vision that has inspired humanity worldwide is articulated by His Highness for all interested parties in the same clip, touching hearts as he says: "If one has a vision and moves towards it, practicing and learning from their mistakes, their vision becomes broader and further." This is His Highness' formula for productive hard work; vision and planning are the foundations of any successful idea, and the UAE started with an idea and has reached what it is today, with better days ahead. His way of working has established a unique approach in mapping out the features of the future, based on a keen and long-term vision aimed at enhancing human capability to fulfill the state's ambition to achieve first place globally in all aspects.
His Highness always motivates the creation and consolidation of a qualitative leap in performance, results, and services of government departments, aiming for them to reach globally leading levels. The UAE government stands out by monitoring performance indicators and evaluating them regularly to identify strengths and challenges, improving them through initiatives and programs that transform them into opportunities. This involves teamwork, establishing values and principles of positive and fair competition, and enhancing a culture of creativity in employees’ performance of their duties. Moreover, evaluating employee performance, discussing the results objectively and transparently, and documenting them have all contributed to enhancing employees' productivity and responsibility in their roles.
Because His Highness understands the details of life and its fluctuations, he speaks about the finish line that no one has reached, regardless of generations: "Achieving goals is a hope, a duty, and a lifetime task; there is no final line for development, innovation, and excellence. Others will come after us, and they will take their positions, and so will their offspring and theirs, and the finish line has not been reached." He has laid out multiple roadmaps for everyone who takes on responsibilities in the state, guided by the principles of governance and the eight government principles of Dubai, where he promises to insist on service, creativity in work, and acceleration in accomplishments regardless of how much time passes. He advised everyone in authority to be a guiding beacon on the path to achieving the first position, marked by Emirati excellence in various fields.
