Becoming the Most Valued Player (MVP) on your team means going the extra mile; even if the rewards don’t seem to be forthcoming effort will pay off in the long run.
To become the MVP at your workplace, consider the following:
- Have an opinion. Being the MVP means not sitting on the sidelines. Have an opinion that adds value to any given situation; for maximum effect listen to others with an open mind.
- Help others. Lend a hand, an ear or just be there; their trusted and reliable presence makes MVPs part guardian angels, part watchdogs. Remember team cohesion, motivation and inspiration are all directly linked to this.
- Be level-headed. Being calm in the tye of the storm is crucial as others rely on your rock solid demeanour to deflect and absorb pressure, giving them the space to perform in tense situations.
- Dress well. Look the part. Inspiring people to be their best and representing the best qualities of your team begins with looking your best at all times.
- Sharpen that axe. Becoming the MVP is an ongoing process. Add value to your skill-set: read, travel, socialise, cultivate a hobby, seek a mentor and learn to take risks. Broadening your horizons and your mind will ensure that people continue to be inspired by you, and to work towards their (and by association your) goals as well.
