All team members are valuable

When you have a professional team (baseball, football, basketball, hockey, etc.) the veterans and the rookies play together to form a cohesive unit. At least on the successful teams they do.

What about in your organization? As a leader, manager or supervisor, are you building a team of inclusion or exclusion? Does the rookie in your organization have the same level of input as the seasoned veteran?

Not everyone on your team is cut out to perform at the same level or perform the same tasks. But if everyone feels like a valuable part of the team, watch what they can do if you are giving them confidence along the way.
