When you have too many chefs in the kitchen, then that can create problems. They all want to do things their way but there is not enough resources to get everything done their way. So then productivity goes down. So the best solution is for either the chefs to find or create their own kitchen or for a majority of them to accept different roles. This will make things more productive and decisions can be made faster. 

If someone wants to go on and do their own thing, then that’s fine. Don’t hold any grudges because it will be the best for everyone involved. You can still do collaborations and bounce ideas off of each other. Just know what type of situation you’re getting in and see if you need to be the leader or the follower. It’s okay to be both at various parts of your life.
