📋 PERSONA FILE
DOSSIER ENTRY
The Flip-Flopper operates in a state of perpetual indecision. They change direction with the wind—or more accurately, with whoever they just talked to. Decisions aren't made; they're temporarily agreed upon. Working with them means constant context-switching and the knowledge that everything could pivot at a moment's notice.
⚙️ CORE BEHAVIORS
- Changes decision 3-5 times per week
- Says "Actually, I was thinking..." to reverse previous calls
- Blames external factors for reversals: "The market changed our strategy"
- Expects you to implement changes as if they were always the plan
- Gets excited about new ideas and immediately pivots the entire project
- Uses "I had a thought" as justification for total strategy overhaul
- Holds meetings to "realign" on already-executed plans
- Acts surprised when you mention the previous direction

📊 REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
INPUT (What you say)
Building feature A per requirements from last week.
OUTPUT (What they respond)
Wait, we're still doing feature A? I was just thinking—what if we focused on feature B instead? It's actually more strategic. Yeah, I know we spent weeks planning feature A, but hear me out: feature B could be bigger. Let's pivot. Actually, wait—did I tell you to do feature A or feature B? I need you to stop what you're doing and we can realign. Or maybe we do both? Let me talk to the product team and get back to you. But yes, full speed ahead on A. Or B. I'll clarify by EOD.
