Kavorkapreneur

Based on the word Kavorka - "the lure of the animal" - but for the entrepreneurial types who cannot help but get bored and shift strategies, launch new products without finishing the last ones, or start a new business every year.

A person that lunges from topic to topic without a care in the world, usually accompanied by ample frustration by themselves and all those around them.
Did you hear about the latest thing Ted is doing?

I didn't, but I'm not surprised. He's completely out of control, a total Kavorkapreneur.

Herding Cats Phase

The inevitable chaos that one experiences as a projects moves towards the end. The finish line is in sight, there's more loose ends than a 20 year old sweater, everyone is semi-confused and lunging from task to task, and it's an all out assault on the concept of patience.
We've definitely entered the herding cats phase of this project. No idea how we're going to get to completion, hopefully we receive a miracle before someone loses their shit.

Backside Leader

Someone who is so far in last, they think they're in first. A play on car races, where the last guy appears to be in first but in actuality is doing an absolutely horrific job.
How's Ted doing these days?
He's so far in last he thinks he's in first. A true backside leader. He's delusional.
