Organisational Psychologist John Amaechi: Find your inner giant

This former NBA basketball player changed course after his athletic career to earn a PhD in psychology and found a psychological business consultancy that leverages research and evidence-backed insights into human behaviour. He talks to Meet The Leader about how looking inward can help execs better recognize leaders throughout an organization and how everyday choices and commitments can shape success. He also shares how bias conversations must change in workplaces and insights from his latest leadership book: The Promises of Giants.
