Here are 7 ways to make yourself invaluable to a team: Be a chief encourager.

The following is a guest post by Jessica Edmondson. Ever wonder what is the best path to effective management? Effective management begins, grows and thrives when the right candidates are hired. Team members can sense right away when someone isn’t a good fit, and they are often the ones who must pick up the slack.

I was once a division manager for a large sales team and sales were down due to the economy. A person can stay on the payroll as long as they “play by the rules” and “stay out of trouble” Often when you find there are no longer innovators on the team it is a sign of a toxic culture.

Any good leader knows he or she is nothing without the people on their team. It’s one thing not to understand it, to have questions about it, or need development. Sometimes the best thing for the rest of the team – and the person – is for them to find a vision they can support. Never learning from mistakes.

Anyone who has ever served with me on a team could probably agree I am not a wordsmith. I get that and often need help from our team in shaping the right words. This takes time and intentionality, but overall produces a healthier team. Managers tend to thrive in details and structure. But words matter.

When I was a mid-level manager in a large corporation, I remember questioning why senior leadership made some of the decisions they did. To be most effective, they must be aware of where they need to develop and continually be working towards them. This is the way it is with being the senior leader in an organization.
