We have never needed true leaders more. Socio-political chaos, workplace disruption, climate crisis; we are desperate for people with the skill and will to collaborate to create a better world. People who will embrace the influence they have and believe in improving society and workplace culture. The Promises of Giants is a challenge to anyone who aspires to make a difference in their environment, be it in your small team, your multinational corporation, or public office.
Over fourteen promises, Amaechi seamlessly intertwines personal anecdotes and hands-on experience, with the latest research, to provide practical, proven tips and strategies to empower you to maximize your own potential and inspire others. It is not a self-help book. It is a how-to guide for winning, rooted in the belief that the most unlikely of people, in the most improbable of circumstances, can become extraordinary.
John Amaechi well understands his own unlikely path in life; a man who leads with his qualifications to neutralise bias; a chartered scientist, a certified business psychologist, an OBE, a FTSE director, on the board of the UK’s largest NHS Trust, a writer, a self-confessed bookworm from Stockport.
