Publisher's summary

Everyone is capable of accomplishing extraordinary things. If you share this belief, then this audiobook was written for you.

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, coauthor 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 number one "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)

We need more books like this

I’ve read a lot of books on business and self development, but this one definitely stands out. I believe there is a mountain of wisdom to be gained from read through this and probably need to re-read it a few times to capture the most out of it. Even the way he has written it embodies his practice of humble confidence. Definitely worth the read!
