About Second Chair Leaders About Second Chair Leaders Authors Seminars and Services Articles and Resources

Welcome to Secondchairleaders.com! Take your time to browse through these pages. As you may know, very few resources are geared directly toward second chair leaders. So, we decided to further the leadership community’s discussion by talking about you, the second chair leader, and your unique challenges, needs, and desires. By the way, we’re not just talking about you; we are leading from the second chair right alongside you!

We hope that you will leave this site encouraged, strengthened, or even renewed. We also hope to further the discussion in this untapped arena. We invite you to read the monthly article, check out the recommended resources, and join the second chair community. Our prayer is that we might be a resource for you, as we strive to serve to our fullest potential in God’s Kingdom.

Here’s to you, as you sit back, browse, and for a moment, relax in the second chair.


Leading from the Second Chair offers an invaluable resource to leaders who serve in second (and third and fourth) chair roles, enabling them to become more productive, proactive, and fulfilled. The book reveals the paradoxes of second chair leadership. These leaders must be subordinate to the top leader yet lead in their own right. They should be deep in their expertise but wide in perspective. And they must be content in their jobs yet remain enthusiastic about their dreams for the future.

Mike and Roger Introduce the Book

"Somebody said the hardest instrument to play is 2nd fiddle.  But since Jesus had one or two things to say about serving and submitting, this is a rich field.  Mike and Roger have addressed a key need with wisdom and clarity."
