Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth

If too many people are involved in managing or doing the same task, it can lead to confusion, mistakes, and poor results.

• Broth (soup) here is a metaphor: if many different cooks all add ingredients or try to control the recipe, the soup won’t taste good.
• In real life, it suggests that when there are too many opinions, leaders, or decision-makers, the outcome often suffers.
