A person who gives encouragement; someone who supports and motivates others.
From 'encourage' + '-er' (agent suffix). Follows standard English pattern for creating agent nouns from verbs of action.
Studies of successful teams and companies consistently show that the 'encourager' role is just as valuable as the leader role—these are often underappreciated people who make everyone else better!
