In this special episode, John talks to Speaker, Teacher and Author, Peter Docker.
Peter has a unique take on leadership and comes with a wealth of experience. His new book is called ‘Leading from the Jumpseat: How to Create Extraordinary Opportunities by Handing Over Control’, which is a fantastic guide to learning and being able to hand over control – something John has spoken about in previous social media posts and podcast episodes.
Within Peter’s new book, he delivers the message that leadership is about lifting people up and giving them the space, they need so that, when the time is right, they can take the lead. For this book, Peter draws on his 25-year career in the Royal Air Force, and over 14 years spent partnering with businesses around the world, Peter's goal is to inspire others to Lead from the Jumpseat.

BEST MOMENTS
“We’ve got a lot of things that separate us in this world, between countries, nations, cultures, whatever. There’s so much more that is common between us, and I think that’s what I’ve learned the most, travelling the world and meeting people”.
“When we’re in situations where we don’t know the answer, where it’s unknown territory, then what guides us is what we stand for, what we believe in and what commitment we have”.
