The idea is often thought of as the most valuable player, a person recognized for their outstanding abilities, contribution, or accomplishments to the team. Generally, they are a stand-out person, one that everyone sees leading others to a specific measure of success.

However, when we think about leadership, the MVP may not always stand out and be in front of the rest. Their contribution may be minimal in the eyes of many, if not most, but what they give is critical and vital to success.

Think about the mother of a boy with five loaves and two fish and what she taught him. Who is the MVP where you lead?
