Preparing Others to Take the Lead

Speaker, teacher, and author Peter Docker’s career has taken him around the world. His book, “Leading From the Jumpseat: How to Create Extraordinary Opportunities by Handing Over Control,” brings together everything he’s learned from the experiences he’s had throughout his life and the people he’s met along the way. A firm believer that what unites us is much more than what divides us, “Leading From the Jumpseat” is a practical how-to guide for adopting practices that empower others and prepare them to lead.

Everyone is capable of accomplishing extraordinary things. The key is the approach we use to help individuals unlock their natural talents and take the lead with confidence. Peter uses the metaphor of an airplane jumpseat to illustrate how to hand over control to another who is equipped to continue forward.
