Chwal ki gen dis mèt
mouri nan poto “The horse which has
ten masters dies at the hitching post” – A task with too many “handlers” gets
neglected.
Basically, delegate specific people to do specific tasks and
the task will get done, or at least you’ll know who to blame if it’s not done.
This makes me think of another Haitian Creole proverb. It deals with task delegation also: Si tout
moun a cheval ki moun ki va fèmen baryè? “If everyone is on a horse, who
will close the gate?”
Basically, everyone wants to be
riding the horse but whose job is it to close the gate after all the horses have passed through?
