We live in a world that celebrates the spotlight-where success is often defined by being first, loudest, or most visible. But what if the truest form of leadership is not about being number one-but about lifting others, serving faithfully, and leading with quiet strength?

The Power of Second challenges conventional thinking by revealing how real influence is often found in second place. In this compelling and inspirational book, educator and community builder Rolando Asisten, Jr. introduces the revolutionary idea of ""Second Power""-the ability to lead, transform, and inspire from behind the scenes.

Drawing on powerful real-life stories, historical figures, and psychological insights, the book offers a new lens on leadership. From Alan Turing to Maria Montessori, from caregivers and mentors to innovators and whistleblowers, Asisten shows how those in the second chair often shape the world in ways the spotlight never sees.

Each chapter weaves together personal reflection, faith, emotional intelligence, and servant leadership principles to help readers discover their unique place in the world-especially when they're not in charge. Whether you're a teacher, parent, coach, deputy, assistant, volunteer, or someone who's been overlooked, this book invites you to reclaim second not as a consolation-but as a calling.

Perfect for readers of inspirational nonfiction, leadership development, and Christian living, The Power of Second is a timely message for a noisy world:

Second isn't failure.

Second is formation.

Second is power.
