John Amaechi
Described by # 1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again , Adam Grant as “ one of the most powerful books ever written about leadership ”, The Promises of Giants is , as its title suggests , a collection of promises . Penned by a literal giant , former professional basketball player-turnedpsychologist John Amaechi OBE – and conceived on the premise that ‘ the most unlikely of people , in the most improbable of circumstances , can become extraordinary ’ – it offers a series of strategies designed to transform any leader into an extraordinary one . According to Amaechi , the book ’ s ethos it to “ approach each moment like it ’ s pivotal and acknowledge that we cannot prepare for the moment of impact because we will rarely see it coming ”. And if you cannot embrace that and start thinking like a giant , the rest of this book will be useless , he says . Weaving personal anecdotes and workplace / social observation with the latest research , The Promises of Giants provides practical , proven strategies to making a difference as a leader .
