Doug had once heard an executive say that every project is like a ham-and-egg breakfast in which participants play different roles. The Pig is critical to the breakfast because he has the most at stake, whereas the Chicken contributes but can always walk away. To this confusing barnyard metaphor (were pigs that became ham successful?) Doug added Cows, who were consulted but uninfluential, because they had no stake in the outcome.

So we're all Pigs that feel like Cows then? lol
