Say No To The Yes Man

For the most part, we tend to gravitate towards surrounding ourselves with people who agree with our viewpoints for a variety of reasons. Firstly, shared perspectives can create a sense of validation and affirmation of one's own beliefs and ideas, fostering an environment that boosts confidence, morale, and motivation. That all sounds great, but the problem is Yes Men don’t usually really agree with you. They just feel compelled to agree in order to stay on the team or even to just stay in your life. Often, you are either the boss or the more successful friend or sibling. A Yes Man can fear losing their position of trust in your life or might be trying to become your right hand man, so to speak.In this podcast episode, we'll discuss key traits of the Yes Man, and identify ways to manage this tricky relationship. We'll also discuss strategies on creating a more honest, and transparent environment.
