One of the worst mistakes we can make as leaders is retaining control. Being responsible for the outcome doesn't mean we must control everything; it's quite the opposite. The moment we learn to hand over control, we empower ourselves and our teams, and extraordinary opportunities emerge. Leading without thinking of handing over control buys excellent opportunities for the present by selling the future.Our guest, Peter Docker, created the concept of leading from the jumpseat in a life-or-death situation he had as a Senior Pilot of the Royal Air Force. In less than two seconds, and with his life and all the passengers' lives on the line, he had to make a decision that would directly impact the outcome of that emergency.Peter Docker is a Keynote Speaker, Teacher, and Author of "Leading from the jumpseat. How to create extraordinary opportunities by handing over control." After a flawless 25-year career in the Royal Air Force, Peter spent over 14 years and counting partnering with businesses worldwide, including Google, The Four Seasons Hotels, and NBC Universal, to name a few.Peter kindly shared the experiences that helped him develop his ideas on leadership, the difference between values and non-negotiables, and the benefits of making a stand rather than having a position. We delve into the concept of leading from a handing over control mindset, the strength we find in empowering others, and the driving force of our non-negotiables. We also talk about embracing vulnerability as a form of leadership and where love, fear, and leadership intersect.Tune in to Episode 317 and discover how empowering leading from the jumpseat can be.Some Questions I Ask:Tell us about your background, and include any turning points in your life that have had a significant impact on you (4:22)Let's talk about the non-negotiables.

Peter Docker is the co-author of the book, Find Your Why, and formerly a founding Igniter at Simon Sinek Inc. He draws on his 25-year career in the Royal Air Force, and over 14 years spent partnering with businesses around the world to inspire them to lead. Peter teaches people how to navigate the challenge of leadership. His latest book, Leading from the Jumpseat, delivers the message that leadership is about lifting people up, and giving them the space they need to lead!   Key Takeaways [2:15] Peter reveals an interesting fact about him when he was at the age of 42. [3:35] Peter tells the story behind the Jumpseat Leader when he was still flying with the Royal Air Force. [7:34] As a leader, handing over control is inevitable at some stage. Leading from the jumpseat is a mindset and approach which helps us to lead intentionally in that perspective. [10:20] Peter talks about the four parts of his book through metaphors of flying: Learning To Fly, Flying, Teaching Others To Fly, and Leading From The Jumpseat. [11:30] These stages are not meant to be a single progression. We can be at different stages in different aspects of our life. [15:25] It takes a lot of time to teach and develop people. Peter shares more analogies on how leaders can better manage in order to delegate. [16:25] Delegation is not abdication of responsibility. It only frees up space for leaders to focus on most things that only they have authority over. [17:30] In the short term, the pace will be slow but in the long term, delegating will allow your team to accelerate much more quickly. [22:20] Peter also shares his insights on how to teach followership as a leader. [23:15] Individualism and teamwork are not mutually exclusive. Peter explains why he thinks so. [28:40] As leaders, we can create opportunities for people to have a choice which is very important for their engagement. [29:50] Context vs. content. Peter tells a story about a young woman named Louise who challenged herself to climb the Island Peak of Nepal to illustrate why context is vital. [34:50] Learning and being kind to ourselves is very important in leadership. The willingness to get up every morning to do a little bit better goes a long way. [36:45] Exploring what is really important to us releases enormous energy once we are able to connect to it. Peter tells another story with his wife being involved in an accident as an example. [42:20] The promise we make to ourselves is actually about other people. Peter explains why it is so. [43:26] Peter shares his experience in the Iraq war back in 2003 to give more context in regards to the promise we keep for ourselves towards others. [45:00] Making a promise to yourself is more powerful when it is in service to others. [47:25] Listener challenge: Learn to lead when you don't know the answer.   Quotable Quotes “We all eventually give out control. And it's about preparing our people so they can take the lead when the time is right.” “We're right back down at the bottom again, trying to figure out how to fly. But that's the wonderful thing about it because it gives us the opportunity to maintain our humility to continue to learn and embrace the unknown.” “Delegation is not abdication and also it is not an excuse for micromanagement.” “We want to be involved in things; it's nice to be able to handle stuff and get stuff done. But every time we take on more things, the slower our team's progress becomes.” “If we are always the guy who has the answer, we become the constriction in the pipe.” “As a leader, what we can do is to shift the context so that people see what they are struggling against and see it instead as an opportunity to be taken on. And that then gives them the chance to really push themselves.”   Resources Mentioned Sponsored by: Darley.com Leadingfromthejumpseat.com Peter on Linkedin Peter on Twitter Peter on Instagram Grab Peter's books, Leading From The Jumpseat: How to Create Extraordinary Opportunities by Handing Over Control and Find Your Why: A Practical Guide for Discovering Purpose for You and Your Team

It's easy to see them as the tiny toddler they once were, when barely able to even walk! Watching them grow from little kids to young adults means that we have to relinquish control and give them more and more independence….which is no simple task. We want to protect them, shelter them and guide their every move to make sure they don't go astray, but maybe this isn't the best way to prepare them to take on life in the real world!This week's episode is about taking the backseat as a parent. Even when we want to run out the door and stop our teen from going out in that outfit, or watch over them until they finish every problem on their physics homework, sometimes it's wise to step back and let them go at it on their own. Even though teens might mess up, make mistakes and have regrets, a little bit of independence can be an important preparation for the wild ride of adulthood they'll face up ahead.

Summary: While it may seem counter-intuitive at first, there is wisdom in the concept of leading from behind. This episode of Building Better Cultures deconstructs team dynamics and the long-term impact of providing individuals the space to contribute. Host Scott McInnes invites Peter Docker, the popular motivational speaker and author of multiple books, to share his unique take on human collaboration and the tools he's developed to put theory into practice. Learn about the three pillars that Peter details in his new book, "Leading from the Jumpseat: How to Create Extraordinary Opportunities by Handing Over Control." Together they provide the mutually reinforced scaffolding for fostering healthy cultures – wherever people are working together and accountable to one another. Those three key ingredients include: Commitment Humble Confidence Belonging From his years as a pilot and respected mentor in the Royal Air Force – as well as his transition into the private sector and beyond – Peter has derived an approach that empowers individuals and opens the way for the kind of leadership that inspires loyalty, drive and authentic pride of purpose. The conversation wraps up with reflections on legacy. What do we wish to be remembered for – and why? For Peter, it's a question to be examined carefully. What may appear on the surface like the thing you wish to be remembered for could actually be far less important than what you have achieved just below the surface; sometimes the most penetrating impacts ripple out slowly over time. Key Takeaways: A bit about Peter's eclectic professional journey, from his career as a pilot with the Royal Air Force to his more recent success as an author and speaker. What “Leading from the Jumpseat” means and why this book is important not only for leaders of the largest companies but also within a single family unit. Peter shares the origin story that sparked the idea for “Leading from the Jumpseat.” Leadership as Human Connection: Leaders are tasked with nurturing a sense of belonging because it fosters responsibility. People will tend to step up by choice more easily than they are willing to be held accountable. The secret ingredient: Caring. There is nothing “soft” about caring. Leaders who support and cultivate are nurturing a level of commitment not unlike that which military leaders elicit from their troops. Making the right moves: How leaders can promote a workplace culture that holds space for employees to contribute and shine. It starts at the top of the organization with clarity about priorities and goals. Once those guard rails are in place, the stage is set for what Peter calls “humble confidence.” It's not about ego but clarity and purpose. What constitutes “humble confidence”: We are able to listen and welcome input from others. We see the world as a place of purpose and opportunity, rather than scarcity and fear. We're thinking of others around us, rather than just ourselves. We're resolute in where we're going, even when we aren't sure of how we'll get there. On Commitment: The difference between a position and a stand: Peter explains the way in which a stand is clear and clearly moving forward. Once a stand is established, the commitment follows and a plan of action can be put in place. Peter offers some concrete exercises for leaders who want to build a better culture: Commitment: Rather than a position against, figure out the stand “for” that sits underneath it. Humble Confidence: Take a situation at home or at work for which you know a solution. Rather than going straight to problem-solving mode, enjoin those around you to suggest what they might do. The willingness to create that opportunity requires humble confidence. Belonging: Send a text to someone you've been out of touch with for a while or reach out to someone on your team with a call out of the blue just to find out how things are going and what you can do to be of support. This is the human connection that underpins everything else. Peter explains why the concept of legacy is so important in his view. It's about being the pebble in the pond, and not knowing where those ripples will go. Holding space for those unknown effects is critical because we don't know what amazing things may derive downstream.

Leading From The Jumpseat: How to Create Extraordinary Opportunities by Handing Over Control Interview with Peter Docker When something really matters to us, it releases an energy that has us run towards any challenge. And yet, in business and in life, regardless of how committed we are to a cause, 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 and 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.

In every episode, I ask our guest to share with us a favorite quote or mantra from a leader and why they chose that quote.  In episode 44 Jamie Parker shared a quote from our guest today, Matt Whiat.  I reached out to Matt and asked him to be a guest on the podcast and I'm glad that he accepted.   Matt is the Founding Partner at the Champman & Co Leadership Institute whose parent company is Barry-Wehmiller, well known for combining people-centric and lean thinking.  In his role at Chapman & Co, Matt draws on over 20 years of leadership experience as a former military officer, helping organizations create cultures that put people and business in harmony. Chapman and Co believes culture drives organizational outcomes. In other words, culture doesn't eat strategy for breakfast; it feeds it breakfast (and every other meal!). They help build an organization and/or team culture intentionally to deliver deliberate outcomes.   Links: Connect with Matt on LinkedIn Connect with Chapman and Co. on Twitter Chapman & Co.
