Description

The book Leading from the Second Chair aims to increase awareness about the need for strong leaders in secondary positions. It explains the value that these leaders can bring to their organization and to primary leaders when they are serving at their full potential. Additionally, it aims to reshape the way they view their role, emphasizing their own responsibility as leaders. It acknowledges the unique challenges and frustrations that come with serving in a subordinate position and equips these leaders with the attitudes and skills they need to thrive in this new paradigm.

This book is especially valuable because there are limited resources available for second chair leaders, particularly those in the church. It provides practical guidance that can improve the performance of any organization. Building on the theme of an empowered leadership team, Leading Congregational Change discussed the importance of a vision community - a diverse group of key members who discern and implement a congregation's vision - to guide church transformation. This work extends that theme, exploring how individual clergy and laity can lead effectively.
