Answer 1

Emirates chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed and Emirates president aviation industry veteran Tim Clark have been great veterans in the aviation industry.

Mr. Clark has had 35 years of service at Emirates. Mr. Clark had played a crucial role in transforming the airline company into an interconnector. He negotiated with other airlines companies and siphoned traffic to enable his vision to come true to become a large interconnecting company. He even provided specifications to global airplane makers such as Boeing and Airbus. This was how Emirates helped Dubai to become a global travel company to a great way eventually resulting in a hub for large number of financial transactions. It was because of the strategic vision of Mr. Clark that the airplane manufacturers were able to make market-leading aircrafts. This strategy has enabled Emirates to embrace jets that were wide bodied though small in size even in the midst of slower economic downturn. His leadership has also enabled Emirates to overcome the challenges faced during critical financial crisis, industry fluctuations and of course natural disasters.

Emirates chairman Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed has also proved his strategic leadership for the success of Emirates. He is an extraordinary leader and has a vision for the future. He has been considered as the only leader to have such futuristic vision in the Middle East. The key to his successful future is his proactive nature and planning for the future. From this perspective, he is innovative an authentic leader. His transformational leadership style has made Dubai to be the hub of tourist spot and a hub for interconnecting airlines. This has led to great financial transactions in Dubai resulting in huge volume of cash influx in the economy. This has made Dubai to be one of the richest countries. His leadership has transformed the culture of the society of Dubai and he is now the Vice President and Prime Minister of United Arab Emirates known for his futuristic leadership.
