Into the book
Spending time debating whether you have the biggest axe or the smallest axe is fundamentally a waste of time.
Even a small axe can fell a tree.
--- p.29, from "Prologue"
Knowing yourself objectively is a crucial first step toward realizing your potential as a leader.
You can't grow without knowing exactly who you are and where you come from.
--- p.34, from Chapter 1, “I promise to look at myself critically, but not cruelly.”
You don't have to force yourself to be warm, cheerful, and gentle, but you don't have to be selfish either.
Although there are cases where selfish people win, there is no guarantee that selfish people will win.
--- p.65, from Chapter 2, “I promise to dedicate myself completely to success.”
The combination of boldness and vulnerability is incredibly powerful, and they work even better together than either alone.
--- p.87, from Chapter 3, “I promise to be a person with boldness and vulnerability.”
We must recognize that changing minds alone is not enough to create change in the world, spark innovation, and build solidarity that sustains success.
We need to change our behavior.
--- p.129, from Chapter 4, “I promise to act cautiously without being caught up in prejudice.”
True success is about constantly focusing, working hard, and executing, even when there are options that would be just as good if you tried less.
--- p.171, from Chapter 5, “I promise, I will not make excuses and will endure the discomfort.”
You can't do it all by yourself.
You can't win alone.
That's why you should always trust and rely on your team and colleagues.
--- p.189, from Chapter 6, “I promise to take care of my body and mind.”
The most influential and memorable leaders make people feel good with just a glance.
Expect the best from others.
Then I will show you what it looks like.
--- pp.220-221, from Chapter 7, “I promise to help others develop their potential”
A "war for talent" is raging around the world! But talent is often right before our eyes.
It's just not doing its job right.
--- p.228, from Chapter 8, “I promise not to judge people by their occupation, but to look at them as individuals.”
We can create conditions in which even the most unlikely people can become extraordinary, even in the most impossible of circumstances.
--- p.243, from Chapter 8, “I promise not to judge people by their occupation, but to look at them as individuals.”
Feedback is the best gift you can give your colleagues.
--- p.262, from Chapter 9, “I promise to give you timely and effective feedback.”
The people you work with will be the key to achieving success and avoiding failure.
--- p.282, from Chapter 10, “I promise to always be by your side, not just when you need me.”
No one should just pass by trash.
If you see something, you must do something.
What you choose to do will depend on your position in the organization, but everyone can do something.
Everyone creates culture.
--- p.299, from Chapter 11, “I promise to take responsibility and lead the culture.”
People make choices.
And those choices create culture.
What choices did you make today? And what choices will you make tomorrow?
--- p.302, from Chapter 11, “I promise to take responsibility and lead the culture.”
We call people we work with 'colleagues'.
However, the word 'colleague' carries with it the connotations of camaraderie and shared vision.
People who just exchange work emails all day long are not 'colleagues'.
We are just 'people working in the same space'.
--- p.312, from Chapter 12, “I promise to look at the organization critically and truthfully.”
Imagine the feeling of relief when you take off uncomfortable clothes and the fatigue of the day melts away.
That's the relief that everyday acceptance provides.
--- p.351, from Chapter 13, “I promise to create a culture of everyday inclusion where we can be open with each other.”
When we go through tough times together, it becomes amazing, and when we triumph together, it becomes a transcendent experience.
--- p.362, from Chapter 14, “I promise to create an environment that people will never want to leave.”
When people find a place where they feel cared for, heard, and respected, they don't want to leave.
A place where you receive constructive feedback, where you aren't abandoned even if you fail, where you're never alone, and where you don't have to force yourself to fit in to belong—that's an environment you won't want to leave.
Even a small axe can fell a tree.

Publisher's Review
*** 2021 Porchlight Business Book Awards Book of the Year
*** 2022 British Business Book Awards Finalist
*** Selected as the most influential HR thinker by HR Magazine
*** Adam Grant, JJ
Recommended by world-renowned celebrities such as Abrams
“We need more leaders!”
In times of crisis,
On True Leadership: Finding Your Way Through Chaos
As the title suggests, this book is a collection of promises.
There are promises made to your closest colleagues, and there are promises made to the entire company.
But it all starts with a promise you make to yourself.
Furthermore, the giants mentioned in this book are leaders who awaken their own potential, have a positive influence on others, and change the world.
So what is a leader in these turbulent times, and what is their role?
"The Giant's Promise" is the first Korean translation of a book by John Ameich, an organizational psychologist with 25 years of experience. It contains the results of the author's lifelong dedication to observing and researching effective leadership.
This book was shortlisted for the 2021 Porchlight Business Book Awards Book of the Year and the 2022 British Business Book Awards, and was written by Adam Grant, JJ
Celebrities such as Abrams, James O'Brien, and Colin Salmon have also praised the book, acknowledging its authority and value.
Also a New York Times and Sunday Times bestselling author, speaker, business coach, and president of APS, a 20-year-old professional consulting firm, the author has been named one of the most influential thinkers in human resources by HR Magazine.
This book emphasizes the values of inclusion, diversity, and empathy, which are becoming increasingly important in modern society.
Furthermore, he persuasively explains, based on his own experience and the latest research, that a leader is not simply someone who leads from the front, but someone who grows with team members, family, and those around them, and knows how to listen to and respect their voices.
What's especially helpful is that it goes beyond simply discussing leadership; it offers practical strategies for putting it into action.
It's full of actionable advice that helps you use failures and mistakes as stepping stones to growth, reflect on yourself, and move forward in a better direction.
This is a great inspiration not only to leaders of organizations, but also to anyone who wants to make a difference in their lives and the world around them.
After the December 3 martial law, South Korea fell into chaos, and the importance of leadership was once again highlighted.
In times of turmoil, what is needed is not a leader who seeks control through power, but a leadership that can unite people based on empathy, inclusion, and trust.
It is precisely for this reason that 『The Giant's Promise』 is a book we absolutely need right now.
This book presents the right role for leaders in chaotic situations and teaches not only leaders but also all citizens how to act as leaders in their respective positions.
The fate of an organization depends on how competent, balanced, and wise its leaders are.
From social and political turmoil to workplace transformations and the climate crisis, there's never been a greater need for leaders willing and able to collaborate to build a better world.
We need people willing to fill the leadership void.
People who truly understand the influence they hold and believe they can improve society and workplace culture.
It is because of people like this that life becomes better and more positive.
I hope you don't just skim through "The Giant's Promise" like you would an ordinary book.
I hope you will focus on what this book is saying and listen to your inner story.
Then you will be able to properly face the good aspects of yourself and evaluate them positively.
From that moment on, you began to become a giant.
The ability to lead in chaos is important.
This book will serve as a guide for those who dream of true leadership amidst anxiety and confusion, and for all those who are contemplating their role as leaders.
This book delivers a powerful message about leadership and is a must-read for all leaders and aspiring leaders.
