Ever heard of "Seagull Management" ?

A coworker and I were chatting about our current project at Yahoo! which we are about to release to the public. As we talked about who was really helpful, not so helpful, entirely useless or simply a pain in the butt, he brought up the term seagull management. Wonder what that is? It's managers, that fly in from time to time, aren't really well-informed, flap their wings and make a lot of noise and leave a bunch of crap behind for those people that actually do the work.

Anyway, on one or two occasions we had this happen on our project but overall it's looking good. Stay tuned for more on this? I am pretty excited about getting some of my work out to a large number of people. Never really had that IBM. I mean, we did cool stuff but unfortunately we never made anything available to the public because either IBM did not want to, could not decide in time or wanted to turn it into a secret ...
Let's see how things go. More later.
