You are the leader of a country that has fallen on hard times. jobs have disappeared, citizens are struggling to get by, and some of your country’s industries have failed. as a leader, how could you display the qualities of visionary leadership in this situation?

Visionary leadership is a type of leading. It focuses on long-term success, instead of short-term goals. Leaders that embrace this type of thinking look beyond today and address potential challenges of the future.

A visionary leader would be able to realize that although the country is going through hard times now, this can be corrected in the future. He would also know that it is just as important to ensure the country's long term stability as it is to fix its current predicament.

Some of the actions this leader could take would be to invest in industries that will be on demand in the future, instead of trying to rescue obsolete ones. He could also retrain people, so that instead of finding an unsuitable role quickly, they can have a more meaningful change in career paths and a more secure future. Investing on education and the youth is also a good path for a visionary leader.

the arab empire adopted the muslim religion as their main belief. arabs would influence the people from the territories they invaded towards islam (the muslim belief).

nevertheless, throughout the history of the arab empire, rulers brought intellectual individuals from other religions to their centers of learning. these other foreigners included jews, christians, greeks, persians, and indians.   these resulted in the adoption of important knowledge developed by these cultures by the arabic empire. for example, the works of aristotle were translated from greek to arab and indian scientists brought the numerical concept of "zero" to the arabs.

nowadays, 93% of the arab population is muslim, which at the same time is subdivided in sects including the sunni, zaini, alawi, shia. the remaining 7% is composed mainly of christians.
