The profile you describe is not a Tactical Tornado to me.

A tornado is something big and temporary.

Someone who makes a mess but stays to fix it cannot be described as a tornado.

I worked with actual TT and with people fitting the profile of your guy.

To me they are quite different and have a different impact on the teams they work "with".

I would say your guy is more a Sisyphus.

The ones I met where thought as hard working by management, because they actually were.

If your guy works extra on Sunday for free, they're working hard in my books.

They were not thought as stars, but they were more liked than average 9-5ers. "I know he's not great, but at least he's compensating by working harder".

In the end, if they make something not great, but the work expected from what they do is actually achieved, that's more than most.

And I honestly prefer the Sisyphus to the TT. At least I know they'll own what they do. Not drop it on everyone else to go chase their next "miracle".
