"THE MOST UNLIKELY OF PEOPLE, IN THE MOST IMPROBABLE OF CIRCUMSTANCES,
CAN BECOME EXTRAORDINARY."

WE NEED MORE LEADERS.
From socio-political chaos and workplace disruption to the climate change crisis, we have
never needed people with the skill and will to collaborate to create a better world more
than now. We need people who are willing to fill the leadership void. People who will
embrace the influence they have. People who believe in improving society and workplace
culture - not only because it makes life better, but because it is proven to yield positive
results.
The Promises of Giants is a challenge to anyone who aspires to make a difference in their
environment. Over fourteen promises, it seamlessly intertwines personal anecdotes and
workplace and social observation 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 the responsibilities and potential that come with being a
giant. The Promises of Giants is the product of a lifetime spent observing and studying
effective leadership - from accompanying his mother's visits to her dying patients to
competing at the highest levels of professional sport, through two decades of
management consulting with multinational corporations. These experiences have shown
that everyone has the ability to act decisively to influence the world in a positive way.

Everyone is a giant to someone.

John Amaechi

Brief content visible, double tap to read full content.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

There are many things to tell you about John.

Obviously there’s all the usual Bio stuff; respected organisational psychologist, an OBE, Chartered Scientist, elected Fellow of the Royal Society for Public Health, bestselling New York Times and Sunday Times author, Research Fellow at the University of East London, and Founder of APS Intelligence.

And then there are all the things he does; Mentor to many, teacher to some, and always using his deep psychological insight combined with real life experience to provide a touchstone for people and companies who want to thrive, achieve and align their beliefs, values and ethics.

But these are the things you need really need to know; John is a giant, literally, he’s huge! He’s also a Dad, Brother & Uncle…from Stockport, UK (a product of the statement ‘The most unlikely of people in the most improbable of circumstances, can become extraordinary’). People who think facts and evidence should bow to ‘opinion’ drive him crazy, he’s passionate about Star Wars, is a self-confessed nerd & geek, a former NBA sportsman, has a voice like honey, is transported by music and loves nothing more than to eat decadent foods that are bad for him – especially donuts.

So while you’re questioning everything you thought you knew, John will entertain you with his storytelling, confront you with uncomfortable truths, make you laugh and move you to tears (sometimes in the same minute) and ultimately inspire you to grow and develop in ways you couldn’t possible imagine…..so that you can be a Giant too.

Inspirational, thought provoking and insightful.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 11, 2021

When you find yourself wanting more from a book, you could mistake that feeling as one where said book fell short.... However, nothing could be further from the truth. The very fact that I wanted more, is testament to the desire of wanting to be the great leader this book inspires you to be. It will make a difference, it will remind and reward the desire to build a stronger team that feels valued, and it will help you grow into the type of leader we all aspire to be.

Leadership Thinking for Today

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

A truly outstanding book by John Amaechi that should be essential reading for every leader in this 'Brave New Covid world'. It reinforces the point that leadership starts with you as a person and your journey to where you are. It sets out the importance of 'Doing the Work' as a leader, constantly questioning, exploring and listening.

What a great book. Recommended to me by someone I admire and I would love to recommend to others. I tend to avoid leadership books because they so often feel hollow but John Amaechi’s voice is authentic and he challenges you to be better. I would love to work with leaders like him - let’s hope his insightful advice will inspire change.
