Too many Cooks in the kitchen....delivering a burnt cake

I have too many cooks in the kitchen.

Well, instead let's say there are too many chefs in the kitchen.

They all want to bark orders and wear the big hat.

But none want to be the sous chef, to prep the vegetables, to saute the meat.



And I'm in the middle trying to do many of the roles left in the wings:


  • The job of the hostess - greeting and making people feel welcome to the restaurant

  • The job of the waiter - serving all the customers what they ordered

  • Sous chef - rallying the other cooks who just want to cook a great meal

  • Kitchen rat - scurrying around hiding from the various chef's cleavers

Shouldn’t we all just focus on creating a great meal?
