Abstract: Abstract This book chapter presents a psychobiographical account of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan (1918–2004), who was the ruler of Abu Dhabi for more than 30 years. Sheikh Zayed, who was the driving force behind the formation of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and its first President (Ra’is) from 1971 to his death in 2004, is an extraordinary example of inclusive and mindful leadership and intercultural competence. This psychobiography explores the life of Sheikh Zayed from a transformational leadership and cultural and intercultural competence perspective. The chapter’s aim is to provide an psychobiographical account of a leader in the context of the Middle East who is honored for his leadership and intercultural ability to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion in words and actions throughout his life.
