Our Amazing Story
Meet Our Founder
Dr Charles Margerison is a psychologist, a member of the Royal Institution and the Royal Literature Society, author, entrepreneur and educator.
Previously Professor of Management at the University of Cranfield, UK, the University of Queensland, Australia, he is a co-founder of Team Management Systems and Emerald Insights, the world’s largest management journal company.
The author of more than ten books on management issues, Dr Margerison has also developed an innovative continuing professional development system, called The Communication and Problem-Solving Resource, useful in all aspects of life.
The seed of what grew into Amazing People Schools was sown when Dr Margerison wondered what amazing people like William Shakespeare, Frida Kahlo, Harriet Tubman and Albert Einstein might have said if he had interviewed them about their life and work. His research that spanned over twenty years focussed on the psychology of these inspirational role models and how they used their time and talents to achieve amazing things.
