The term "seagull approach" refers to a management style in which a manager or consultant swoops in, makes a lot of noise and mess, and then flies away without providing any real assistance. Synonyms for this approach include "hit-and-run," "drive-by," "fly-by," and "quick-fix." Other related terms that describe this type of management style include "firefighting," "crisis management," and "band-aid solutions." The seagull approach is generally frowned upon as it can cause more harm than good, creates a negative atmosphere, and rarely achieves a lasting solution to the problem at hand. Managers are advised to avoid this approach and instead opt for a more hands-on, collaborative management style.
