| Description: | FROM THE PUBLISHER: They say it's lonely at the top. And it can be even lonelier when you are almost at the top. Church leaders who hold second chair positions are under tremendous pressure. They are expected do to their jobs and provide leadership but defer to the top leader, too. It's a demanding balancing act. How can they lead effectively while serving under someone else's leadership? 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 Bonem and Roger Patterson share their own and others' experiences of failure and success in this vital role. They offer support and practical advice for reshaping the way second chair leaders can serve well and improve the overall performance of their church or organization. Leading from the Second Chair equips readers with the positive attitudes, skills, and strategies needed to become powerful leaders who will survive and thrive in God's service. DESCRIPTION: This book illuminates the need for strong leaders in secondary positions, revealing the value they can bring to their church and to primary leaders when they are serving at their full potential. Leading from the Second Chair emphasizes taking responsibility as leaders and reveals the unique challenges and frustrations of serving in a subordinate position. It equips " second chair" leaders with the attitudes and skill that they will need to survive and thrive while offering practical guidance that will improve the life and performance of any organization. Mike Bonem (Bellaire, TX) is the cofounder and President of Kingdom Transformation Partners and also serves as Minister of Discipleship at West University Baptist Church in Houston, Texas.
