Thereisaproverbthat“toomanycooksspoilthebroth,”whichmeansthatit’snotgoodiftherearetoomanypeopleworkingtogether.

First,toomanypeopleworkingtogetherwithoutaleadercanleadtoamasschaos.Imaginethatthereisapartywherealotofhousewivesarecomingtogether.Onceitbecomesdinnertime,allofthemgettogetherinthekitchen,andthyallwanttomakebisque.Thenherecomestheproblem.Allthehousewiveshavetheirownmethodsforcookingbisque.Becausethereisnoleader,everyonejustputwhatevertheywantintothebisque.Intheend,itbecomesahodgepodgeandtastesbad.Similaraccidentsappearfrequentlywhengroupmembersareeagertodosomethingtoprovethemselves,andnoonelikestohearothers’opinionsorfollowtheinstrumentsoftheleader.SuchasintheGleeclub,ifeveryonesingswheneverandwhatheorshelikesnotfollowingthemusic,theycanbynomeansbeanexcellentsingingclub.Sothisproverbsuggestspeoplethattheyshouldworklikeateam,concerningmoreabouttheroleofeachmember.

Second,toomanypeopleworkingtogethermayleadtoeveryoneshiftingtheresponsibilitytoeachother,andthennothingcanbesuccessfullydone.ThereisafamousfableinChina,thatstates:

Third,toomanypeopleworkingtogethermayleadtowrongdirections,divertingfromthefirstgoalof“makingthebroth.”Asmentionedabove,ifthosehousewivescomingtogetherwiththegoalofmakingbroth,buttheyweresoexcitedandhappytoseeeachother,andthenbegantochatabouttheirhusbands,theirnewclothes,newmovies,ornewrestaurants.LindamentionedthatsherecentlytriedaChinesedishcalledKungPaoChickenandshereallyenjoyedit,andafewothersagreedwithher.Then,alltheothersbecamecuriousandexcitedtotrythat.Intheend,theymaystartcookingthatdish,orevenwentoutsideforbuyingandtotallyforgotthereasonofgettingtogether:
