John Amaechi is a psychologist and business leader who just happens to be the most successful British basketball player of all time, having forged a successful career in the NBA. In 2007, John became the first NBA player to come out as gay.
In this thought-provoking interview, he examines identity, image and resilience as an exceptionally tall, black child growing up in Manchester (01:30); why his personal principles led him to turn down a $17m contract when in the NBA - and how people react to this (23:30); and why a lack of honesty is at the heart of our leadership problems in business (33:10).
