"One day my staff informed me that I was practicing “seagull management” and it was driving them crazy. “What’s seagull management?” I asked. They explained it’s what happened when I flew in, ******* all over what they were doing, and then flew away again. ... What I learned though, was that my behavior was counter productive and the best work happened when I gave people clear directions about what they needed to accomplish and then let them figure out for themselves how to get the job done."
