Abstract: The subject of this research is the set of factors that affected the formation of personality of the King Mohammed VI as a progressive and successful leader and reformer of Morocco. The goal of this work lies in demonstrating that the prosperous development and reforming of Morocco has become possible thanks largely to the persona of Mohammed VI, who formed under the influence of multiple endogenic and exogenic factors as a competent and farsighted leader and understands the need for gradual liberalization of the country, considering the level of readiness of the traditional Moroccan society to reforms and expectable response of the Islamist circles. The scientific novelty lies in the fact that the article is first to collect and analyze the key biographic factors of Mohammed VI till his coronation, as well as the establishment of the current Moroccan leader as a progressive and innovative leader capable of conducting timely reforms and retain power. A conclusion is made that the King Mohammed VI became a role model of a successful ruler in the Arab Region. He succeeds in implementing liberal reforms aimed at socioeconomic and cultural advancement of the country, not disturbing its fragile balance between the progressive and traditionalistic powers in the society, as well as preserving the bases of legitimacy of the monarchical system.
