Whether it's a paid staff position or a volunteer role, the success of a second chair leader is absolutely essential to the growth and vitality of the church. In their book, Leading from the Second Chair, Mike Bonem and Roger Patterson discuss in great detail three paradoxes that second chair leaders face. In this issue of Defining Moments, unpack those paradoxes and gain some practical help and encouragement, not only for second chair leaders, but also for first chair leaders who want their second chairs to thrive, rather than just survive, in their role.
