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. We need more leaders.
_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.

“This is one of the most powerful books ever written about leadership”.
