The Promises of Giants is for anyone who aspires to make a difference. Over fourteen promises, it intertwines personal anecdotes with the latest research to provide practical, proven tips and strategies to empower you to maximize your own potential and inspire others. 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.

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.

An absolute must read.

A clear and compassionate book on how to relate to people better. Every leader and every person should read this.

I love John Amaechi

The combination of voice and wisdom is rivalled only by my recent listening to Obama's book. I was introduced John through The Lebatard Show and find him and this book to be a guide leaders should aspire to in work and in life.

Best Leadership Strategies Available

John Amaechi has carefully crafted a book that will undoubtedly make you a better leader. I can not wait to implement these promises in my own life let alone my career.

Fascinating, compelling and supremely useful

This is one of the few books that has deeply changed my way of thinking and working.
I own 278 titles on Audible and this one squarely falls within the top 3 most important. It is a masterclass in better management, of yourself and of others.

To the Author John: thank you for such a beautiful book. I will cherish it and share it with anyone willing to listen.

Great insight

Enjoyed learning about leadership from his perspective. It was one that I hadn’t heard before

Masterful and Impactful

The author has very personal and relatable stories and the content and subject matter are dense. You will reread and think, reread and think before you can move on. This book has changed how I think about my interactions within my team, but also with the world at large and everyone around me. Super impactful and a book I will think about for many many years to come.

The first leadership book in a long while

This is the first leadership book in a long while that touched me as a human being, not just a leader. A must read.

inspiring

Perspective advice sourced from real life insight and education. Absolutely inspiring. truly I must read (listen).

Fantastic

There are so many people I've worked for and with that I want to to buy this for (not to mention younger people that I mentor who I definitely will be buying this for a few of them).

John has an eloquence about how he thinks/communicates that makes me yearn to strive to be like that. I can't even begin to describe in words the value that John's words offer.

(Disclosure as a diehard NBA fan growing up, my high school years, in which my passion for the NBA exploded coincided with John's time in the NBA)

That being said Chapter 14 is absolutely phenomenal (there are NBA elements so super strong epi-effect lol).

From the bottom of my heart, thank you John for not only writing this, but for being you.

Lots of Promises, but worth every one

Masterful storytelling. I was a little skeptical of the number of promises, but It’s hard to stop listening to, and easy to come back to a second (or third) time to really digest.
