After a ground-breaking career in basketball (becoming the first Briton to have a career in the NBA), he has gone on to become one of HR\u2019s most influential thinkers and founded APS Intelligence Ltd., an organisation of thought leaders in inclusive leadership that builds high performing teams. A LinkedIn Top Voice since 2020, Amaechi\u2019s book, the Promises of Giants, has been reviewed by the New York Times\u2019 Adam Grant as \u201cone of the most powerful books ever written about leadership.\u201d   In the first ever LIVE recording of Newton Talks, John sits down with Shyam Radia, one of Newton\u2019s Business Managers, to discuss leadership in the modern world; how we can build a culture where we don\u2019t compare individual successes, whilst pushing us to think about what a \u2018team\u2019 really means.    With an audience of over 500 Newton team members, John draws on his sporting and leadership successes, encouraging the audience to push for useful feedback in their roles whilst reminding managers of the difference between \u2018useful\u2019 and \u2018cruel\u2019 feedback. John argues that the way organisations are run has now evolved and leaders and employees must embrace this shift by being both adaptable to processes and handling this change with an agile and welcoming mind.   Newton is an implementation-focussed consultancy with a difference, brimming with people who have a passion for cracking really knotty problems.
