Ever been to a soccer match with 3 year-olds on the field?
All go for the ball all the time; it's just a herd moving around the field (*), more or less with ball the center of attention. But, little is done except to kick at the ball. And certainly no one is ready for the breakout.
And this applies to project management how?
The best example is email with the dozen addressees. Everyone gets the "ball" but actually no one gets the ball. "Hey, everyone was supposed to do something!" But actually, no one did anything but kick it around.
It's like 3 year-olds playing soccer!
(*) field = pitch to some
