About Second In Command Club

The Second in Command Club empowers and supports behind-the-scenes leaders who play essential roles in high-performance organizations. Recognizing the unique challenges and feelings of isolation often faced by these ‘shotgun leaders,’ we provide a collaborative and nurturing environment.

Here, second-in-command professionals can network, share challenges, and develop their skills. Our mission is to help these leaders excel in their roles by fostering strategic thinking, problem-solving, and personal growth. Together, we elevate each other to achieve greater success and drive impactful changes within our organizations.
