الإبرة اللى فيها خيطين ما تخيطش
El ebrah elli fiha kheitin ma tekhayyatsh
Translation: The needle that has two threads can't sew.
Meaning: Too many cooks spoil the soup. You cannot focus on a task if you're distracted with two opinions, two ways of getting results. So give the lead to one person and get the job done.
