Too many cooks spoil the broth.

I agree with you. This happens most of the times. Too many experts have too many opinions and they are quite strong about their opinions. Some time they are even egoistic. So finally the job never gets done. I can relate to this very well because I had this experience because I had a very similar experience in the recent past. We started a new project (IT Project) 8 months back for a new client. Since the client has lot of potential for future business with us, all higher level Mgmt got involved. So the saga of failure started. They brought in experts from 5 groups to ensure that we get good inputs and we deliver high fi stuff. All these 5 experts brought in 5 assistants with them who are also experts. Then to managem all this Mgmt brought in new concept called EMO and then added 3 top level and 2 middle level managers. All this to heavy structure is just to manage 20 developers. As you can pretty much guess every on started pulling the strings from their own direction and we ended up delivering productivity of 10 people out of 45 odd people and finally what we delivered was not what customer wanted. We closed the project with hude losses and loss of oprtunity and mainly loss of credibility. Real horrible situation we ended up.

This happens because every cook thinks that they know best. No one wants to listen to the other's idea. This happens in offices most of the time because everyone wants to comeup to show their colours without thinking about the job and why the job is necessary. If this attitude of people can be changed, we will be a better nation.

If a particular work requires only one person, if too many people muddle with it, then the work gets spoiled. Each one with different idea may spoil the work.
