A team of equally skilled and motivated people is bad as it can not achieve more than any individual in the team, the less skilled and less motivated should be removed. A team works best when its different people with different skills and different motivations as they can achieve more than the sum of their parts. The developer feels they are the one making the product and brining in the money for the business, obviously they contribute more than the janitor. The janitor feels they contribute more as they shove their hand down a toilet to unblock it while the developer sits in a comfy chair on facebook. How do you quantify the contribution of two different jobs? Salary is often used to justify contribution but generally based on supply vs demand it has little to do with contribution.
