Best business author to participate in 'Leaders'

The author, who will speak at the international leadership summit 'Leaders' in Dubai on November 28-29, was inducted into the first-ever Amazon.com Hall of Fame as part of its 10-year anniversary celebration honouring the top 25 best-selling authors, musicians, and movies.

Dr Johnson, the author of Who Moved My Cheese, said: "This honour reflects the significance of helping millions of people understand, deal with, and prosper from change. It means we are helping people around the globe, to be happier and more productive at work and in their personal lives in a world where change and uncertainty seem to be increasing daily."

Dr Johnson joins eight other business and political headline names, including Mikhail Gorbachev, former leader of the Soviet Union, and Dr Mahathir bin Mohamed, former Prime Minister of Malaysia, at Leaders in Dubai.

The trio of political heavyweights, who have dominated headlines over the last 20 years, will join Madeleine Albright, the first female Secretary of State in the USA, and five business and strategy leaders to debate international leadership principles in front of more than 2,000 delegates.

Leaders in Dubai is expected to attract more than 2,000 business leaders from across Arabia and will be held at Madinat Jumeirah, Dubai, from November 28 to 29, 2005.

Headline sponsors are the international names Citigroup, EMAAR, Mastercard, Nokia and Saudi Oger Ltd.
