The most effective team member is the one who amplifies everyone's output. If you can improve a 5 member team's output by 20%, it's the same as if you'd added a 6th member for free.
The least appreciated team member is the one who amplifies everyone's output.

At a previous job, we had a senior engineer who was an expert in the type of work we were doing who spent most of his day answering questions, helping others, making sure builds were running smoothly, etc. Eventually, he was let go by management because he didn't close as many tickets in the bug database as the other engineers. Big loss to the team.
