Second chair leadership is someone who leads with influence without being the senior leader. Most church staff are second chair leaders, but it’s often misunderstood as waiting in the wings for primary leadership. Teams can flourish when this role is understood.

• What are the long term benefits of second chair roles?

• What attributes are vital in second chair leadership?

• What kind of training and/or coaching is needed for this role?

• Senior leaders, what can you implement?

• How does a culture of flexibility and support enhance effectiveness?
