NEW SPANISH EDITION · PUBLISHED BY PLANETA
leading from the jumpseat
A practical guide to leading with humility, building trust, and creating the conditions for others to do their best—especially in uncertain times.
Ideal for: CEOs, HR leaders, people managers, entrepreneurs and educators across Latin America.
MORE THAN JUST A BOOK
Reflecting on our LANCAR Senior Management Team offsite in Cancun earlier this year, Leading from the Jumpseat by Peter Docker became more than just a book — it became the foundation of our journey together.
​
Through its stories and insights, we were able to move beyond numbers and results to something deeper — building a shared vision rooted in purpose, commitment, and trust. The workshop that followed helped us see how true leadership isn’t about control, but about creating the conditions where others can take the controls with confidence.
​
The experience has continued to influence how we lead, collaborate, and grow as an organization — strengthening our ability to empower our people and drive positive impact in the market and in society.
