My post from earlier today reminded me of a phrase a coworker introduced me to a few year ago:
Seagull Status
You might have a company that's your client with multiple point people you meet with on a regular basis, but then there's the stakeholder. The seagull.
Why is this person the seagull?
Because he or she can fly into a room, shit on everyone and fly out. Scott free.
That's a seagull.
I know you know some seagulls.
