Sheikh Mohammed shares lessons on leadership and decision-making in heartfelt message to employees as his new book, The Letters, hits shelves.

The letter, which was sent to the email addresses of employees across several government sectors, tells them about some of the important lessons that every future leader must keep in mind.

"The leader of the future doesn't have more hours than anyone else," he wrote in the email. "But he has the ability to shorten the time between idea and execution because he has the greatest time shortening machine: artificial intelligence."

He added that history will reward those who act before certainty is complete. "A good decision you make today is better than a perfect decision you make next month," he wrote. "In the past, a mistake in decision-making was the greatest risk in any organization. Today delaying a decision is the greatest risk."

This comes as Sheikh Mohammed's latest book, The Letters, hit the stands across the UAE on Friday. The Arabic edition of the book is now available on sale for Dh89 at leading bookstores, while the English edition is expected to be released on October 15.

Several government employees took to social media to share their joy at having received a letter written with such affection. Emirati Noora Al Helali was one of those who shared a copy of the email.

Speaking to Khaleej Times, she explained why the gesture meant so much to her. "In the UAE, when people contribute, serve or achieve something together, there is a culture of acknowledging that effort," she said.
