"Too many chiefs and not enough Indians": Is there a more politically correct version of this expression?

I've used that and never meant anything racial. It simply says...to me...that there are too many people giving orders and not enough people to take them. It says what it needs to say quickly and accurately. If that is racist, I won't use it again. None of the other answers say it quite so accurately and I think everyone understands it a comment about too many leaders and has nothing to do with Indians.

Too many who are trying to tell everyone what needs to be done, and not enough to actually do it.

Too many leaders and not enough followers.

Too many cocks in the flock... The best answer here is nowhere nearer to be awarded as the BA.. I'd have picked any from the other answers. What were you thinking????

The following is a suggestion.

"Too many cooks in the kitchen."

"Too many chefs and not enough cooks."
