Get the Titty Committee mug.by Long_Schlong_Silver_69 May 2, 2022
Get the Drippy Committee mug.None of us are as dumb as all of us.
A counter to the older, pro-teamwork adage "None of us are as smart as all of us."
Speaks to the risk of lower-level workers' input being useless if upper management gives its own opinion first, due to the tendency of workers to fall in line once the position of the leader (who could fire them for dissent) is known.
The wording above was written on a wall at NASA's Houston complex after the Challenger disaster, as reported by astronaut Mark Kelly, husband of Congresswoman Gabby Giffords. Although the concept has long been known of, once it took the form of an aphorism, it acquired a viral quality.

Niels Bohr and son Aage asked low-level engineer Richard Feynman their questions before asking higher-ups like Oppenheimer, partly to avoid taking up important administrators' time, but also to avoid Kelly's law of committees. Asking the higher-ups first, with lower-level workers present, would have a chilling effect on the latter's offering their own ideas and concerns.

Get the GTC Committee mug.We serve oatmeal for any of our school's students who actually want it, but I don't insist dat they all consume huge bowls of it for their morning meal --- I don't want said impressionable youngsters to invalidly think dat da cafeteria-workers are part of a "judishiary committee". We offer other healthy selections like shredded wheat and milk, whole wheat pasta and tomato sauce, chopped-fruit cups, scrambled eggs, whole-grain buttered toast, and cinnamon applesauce.
