seagull manager 海鸥经理

Seagull Manager is a term first dating back to an 1988 Marketing¹ article by Michael Madison, used to describe a management style of interacting with employees only when a problem arises, making hasty decisions about things they have little understanding of, then leaving others to deal with the mess they leave behind.

 

Seagull Manager（海鸥经理）这一说法的出现始于1988年迈克尔·麦迪逊所写的一篇有关市场营销的文章，指那种出现问题了才跟员工沟通的管理模式，管理者对于自己不太了解的事务匆忙做出决策，然后把烂摊子留给其他人来处理。

 

The term became more popular through a joke in Ken² Blanchard's 1999 book Leadership and the One Minute Manager: "Seagull managers fly in, make a lot of noise, dump on everyone, then fly out."

 

这个说法在1999年因为肯·布兰查德的一本书《领导与一分钟经理》中的形象描述而更加走红，书里是这样写的：“海鸥经理们飞进来，制造了好多噪音，把每个人给说一遍，然后又飞走了。”
