About this audiobook
In business and in life, handing over the reins to others is inevitable. Everyone will eventually leave their team, retire from being the CEO, or see their kids leave home and lead their own lives. Leading from the Jumpseat enables us to embrace this inevitability. Leading from the Jumpseat is a metaphor for how we can choose to lead. It’s about the journey we take so we can hand over control to others, who are then equipped to continue forward.
Peter Docker, co-author of Find Your Why and formerly a founding Igniter at Simon Sinek Inc., 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. Drawing 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. Jumpseat Leadership is a way of interacting with people that will enhance performance in any given situation – during normal business, times of crisis, and life in general. Becoming a Jumpseat Leader takes practice and this book is your practical guide to handing over control.
"Leaders know that the secret to success is giving control to the team, safely, consistently, and boldly. In Leading from the Jumpseat, former RAF pilot Peter Docker shows us how to do this." David Marquet, Author of Fortune’s #1 Best Business Book of the Year, Turn the Ship Around and Founder of Intent Based Leadership
“Trust and empower your people so they can lead. Easier said than done. This book is an invaluable guide on how to do that.” Nick Beighton, CEO, ASOS

Peter Docker, autore di Praticare la Jumpseat Leadership, coautore di Trova il tuo perché e uno dei primi Igniter presso Simon Sinek Inc., trasmette il messaggio secondo cui la leadership consiste nell'elevare le persone e nel dare loro lo spazio di cui hanno bisogno in modo che, quando arriva il momento giusto, possano diventare leader.Peter ha prestato servizio per venticinque anni come senior officer della Royal Air Force, è stato Force Commander durante le operazioni di volo di combattimento e ha prestato servizio in tutto il mondo. Nella sua carriera ha coperto una vasta gamma di ruoli: da pilota professionista, alla guida di un'organizzazione per la formazione e la certificazione di piloti, all'insegnamento post-laurea presso il Defense College del Regno Unito, fino ad essere il pilota del primo ministro britannico. Peter ha anche guidato progetti internazionali di approvvigionamenti multimiliardari, ha lavorato come crisis manager ed è stato negoziatore internazionale per il governo del Regno Unito.Attingendo dalla sua carriera militare e da oltre sedici anni di collaborazione con aziende di tutto il mondo, adesso l'obiettivo di Peter è ispirare gli altri ad essere Jumpseat Leader.Spaziando dai keynote speech alla consulenza a lungo termine, Peter e il suo team collaborano con i loro clienti per aiutarli a creare una cultura di Jumpseat Leadership. Si affiancano ad aziende che stanno intraprendendo percorsi mai battuti prima, come per esempio guidare l'azienda durante una crescita esponenziale, o garantire che l'eredità di ciò che è stato costruito venga trasmessa alla successiva generazione di leader in modo che la portino avanti.Lo entusiasma soprattutto lavorare con coloro che riconoscono il valore del proprio team e vogliono garantire che le proprie persone siano preparate per essere leader nei successivi dieci, quindici anni e oltre.L'esperienza di Peter come consulente di leadership qualificato ed executive coach, sia a livello commerciale che industriale, è stata dedicata ai livelli più alti in vari settori tra cui Oil&Gas, edilizia, estrazione mineraria, prodotti farmaceutici, banche, televisione, cinema, media, stampa, ospitalità, produzione e servizi - in novantaquattro paesi. Tra i suoi clienti figurano Google, Four Seasons Hotels, La Marzocco, Accenture, American Express, ASOS, EY, NBC Universal e oltre cento altri.
