Tell me about a Steve Jobs, and I can show you a Steve Wozniak.

Jakes, and I can introduce you to a Pastor Lawrence Robinson.
Explain to me the magnitude of the Civil Rights Movement lead by Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr.
, and I can talk to you about Dr.
Ralph Abernathy and Bayard Rustin.
Brag about the greatness of President Abraham Lincoln, and I would dare you to research William Seward.
If the greatest basketball player of all times is Michael Jordan, then I would say he never won a ring until Scottie Pippen matured as his sidekick.
You love Jerry Lewis, but I respect Dean Martin.
Get the picture? It may take one to lead a great organization, but it takes two to make it out of sight.
My objective in writing this book is a dual one.
I want to help senior leaders (whom I refer to as 1s) understand the need for having quality executive support leaders on their team and how to find them.
And I want to inspire and encourage those who serve in executive leadership support roles (whom I affectionately refer to as 2men, or 2s) to embrace their uniqueness in helping lead their organizations from the second, third, or fourth chair.
I am motivated because I am tired of seeing great 2s leave their posts to become ordinary 1s.
