It is an old proverb that too many cooks spoil the broth. Most probably this proverb must have come out of experience. A few chefs might have been set to prepare soup when everyone must have tried his own skill. In the end, the soup was spoilt. It also leads us to a conclusion that if responsibility for doing a particular job is divided among many people, it no longer remains a proper responsibility but becomes no man’s responsibility. As in the matter of cooking, one should work in a systematic way. A task can be successfully accomplished if one adheres to a particular system. It must be learnt from the experience of many that it is not necessary to engage many persons to perform a task whether it is big or small. It often results in confusion which may become difficult to be sorted out. The haphazard division of responsibility can be more harmful.
