Something goes wrong, they swoop in, drop their opinion, mess with things, and fly off — then wonder why their team is exhausted. I picked the phrase up in a meeting at Zillow and it never left me.\nIn this episode:\nWhat swooping actually costs you: your team stops working and starts bracing for the next one\nWhy a senior leader going three levels down creates fear, not clarity\n\"Turn on the lights\" vs. dropping information that creates chaos\nThe sacrifice underneath it: praise in public, take the blame yourself, and do the correction in private\nThe new manager trap — solving it yourself is what made you good, and it's the thing you have to stop\nThe manager I had right out of college, and the review that told me exceeding expectations meant being perfect\nThe term \"seagull manager\" comes from Ken Blanchard's Leadership and the One Minute Manager. The circle of safety is Simon Sinek's, from Leaders Eat Last.\nFree 1-on-1 Starter Kit: https://beyondjustleadership.com/links","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/1BgcxfzKPS44AgxbyF8z5PnkhYO-zxMCwYPemfdLhvg/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9mYTVh/Nzc5MjM0MzZjNWU4/MzllZjQ1ZTczNzE1/YjhmMS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
