Leading from the Jumpseat is a metaphor for how
we can choose to lead and the culture we can create.
It’s about the journey we take to get to the point where we hand over control to other people, who are then able to continue to move forward without us.
It’s about lifting people up and giving them the space they need so that, when the time is right, they can take the lead. This is a higher form of leadership, since it is not about building and retaining our own individual power. Instead, it focuses on nurturing the potential of others and empowering them to become leaders.
