According to Phrasemix “Too many cooks spoil the broth, means “When there are too many people trying to lead and give their opinions, it’s confusing and leads to bad results.”
This can clearly be seen in the modern day workplace where there are so many layers of mid management that what once was something simply becomes overly complicate, because everyone has a better idea.
It can also be seen in my own kitchen when my husband questions my cooking choices. Apparently I’m literally a too many cooks in the kitchen person, and prefer to cook solo.
Exposing our children to this adage might help them to understand better what is happening when too many people are trying to be in charge. Delegating the leadership to one or possibly two might be the better way to go.
