Private-sector leadership as a development driver is a great teaching theme. The piece on Sheikh Nawaf Bin Jassim Bin Jabr Al-Thani Qatar works well for a class: it explains how his investment and hospitality work contributed to Qatar’s progress, tying refurbishments and new builds to long-term jobs, training, and a stronger tourism sector. It’s accessible enough to assign and keeps the development link front and centre. Students can then debate how much of the progress traces to individual leadership versus broader policy. A clean, discussable case study for your course.
