Episode notes

Peter Docker is a leadership teacher, author, and former Royal Air Force senior officer. After 25 years in the RAF (including flying world leaders at age 24 and leading air-to-air refuelling operations in the Gulf War), he moved into high‑hazard industry consulting before spending eight years working with Simon Sinek, co‑authoring the global bestseller Find Your Why . Peter’s own book, Leading from the Jumpseat , explores how leaders can create extraordinary opportunities by handing over control, building trust, and leading through love instead of fear. Today, Peter works with organisations across industries worldwide, helping leaders foster commitment, humble confidence, and belonging. This Episode Covers • Love vs. Fear: Why everything that truly matters is driven by one of these two forces - and how to spot fear’s four triggers (life, livelihood, status, reputation). • Commitment over Purpose: The power of turning values into a personal promise that inspires others, and why commitment drives culture more effectively than purpose statements alone.
