To young to be a good leader?

What do you think about a younger person leading a team of people that has individuals older than the leader/supervisor/administrator, ect.

I am a young manager leading 3 employees. 2 out of 3 of them are older than me. I treat everyone with the respect I deserve. I listen to my team, rather than make decisions for them. I include them on all that I can. I take the time to get to know their personalities, their strengths and weaknesses. I find this very beneficial for all of us to work together as a team, and have not had any problem with them treating me like I'm younger and don't know what I'm doing

I believe in can work if the person is qualified it's good for both the old guard and the new guard to work together to learn from each other.
