Hope and optimism

We held our conversation weeks ago. But Peter Docker’s story about the flight attendant still has me pondering. No such thing as a difficult passenger??

Peter does many things – pilot, negotiator, teacher, leader, writer. His recent book “Leading from the Jumpseat” piqued my interest in meeting him. I wanted to know more, and firsthand, about his approach to leadership. I’m thrilled that we met. His insights inspired me to reflect more on how I lead myself, my family, and on nurturing a sense of belonging, commonality. I know you’ll find this podcast a rewarding listen.

Peter offers some seemingly counter-intuitive views on leadership. Nurturing the potential of others will make sense to most. As will reflecting on the inevitable. Or the idea that leadership involves the creation of simplicity (not easy). But recognizing the value in fear? Or that optimism about unmet goals eats into your soul? What about everything being driven by either fear or love?

Have a listen! You’ll find that his explanations resonate – for you personally and for your business. Practical, applicable, enlightening. So what’s your stance? Just press play.
