Seagull Management is a management style in which managers only interact with employees when they assume problems have arisen. The perception is that such management style involves hasty decisions about things they have little understanding, which results in a messy situation that other people must face. The term became popular through jokes in Ken Blanchard's 1985 book Leadership and One Minute Manager : "The Seagull manager flew in, made a lot of noise, threw out everyone, then flew out."
Because seagull managers only interact with employees when there is a problem, they rarely offer praise or encouragement when things go well. When problems arise, they often seek to blame others, and to draw attention to themselves in order to appear important. They criticize others, but give little contribution to the solution of the problem.
The seagull management style may indicate a manager who is not trained, inexperienced or newly appointed.
