How to cope with yesmen

Have you ever had someone in your organization who was always agreeable? A type of person who always agrees with everyone else. 1..

We have most likely all met a yesman at one time or another. Yesmen are eager to please, but find it very difficult to voice their opinion. So what can you do as a leader to cope with (对付) them?

Talk to them. The first step is an honest and objective conversation about their behavior. __ 2._ Try to get them to see how they respond in these situations so they can start to see themselves objectively(客观地) as well.

___3. Start with a recent time when they agreed with a decision, and ask for their opinion. Keep asking "why?" or "how come?" Acknowledge their views and let them know that the rest of the team is waiting to hear what they say.

Find out why they always agree. It may be they are just very agreeable people. 4.__ Identify the causes and work with them to reduce the external (外部的) barriers to having their voice heard.

Tell them they need to disagree, constructively, when they have the next opportu- nity. When that time comes about, don't embarrass them by putting them on the spot. Instead, ask them what they think, avoid yes-no questions, and use "why" and "how come" questions to get their thoughts out there for the benefit of the team. Thank them for their ideas. 5.

A. Ask what their opinions are.

B. They should provide value to the organization.

C. Or they feel like they will be saying something stupid.

D. Even if all the ideas presented conflict with each other!

E. Sometimes the person does not realize that they agree with everything.

F. Yesmen are a challenge in any organization that values individual contributions.

G. This will build their confidence and allow them to continue doing what you have started in the future.

For most kids, height isn’t something they can change, so what do you do if you don’t like how tall or short you are? It might be girls feeling too tall and boys feeling too short but some really tall boys might not like all that height and some shorter girls might get tired of all the jokes or of feeling like they’re staying little while their friends are growing up.

If you are still worried about your height, talk to your parents and your doctor. Most kids don’t have a growth problem that needs help from a doctor, but it’s always OK to ask if you’re concerned.

So for most kids, it seems like there’s not much to do but wait to see how it all turns out. But you can do something right now: eat healthy and take care of yourself. If you get the nutrition(营养), sleep, and exercise you need, you’re likely to reach your maximum height. In other words, you’ll grow as tall as you were meant to grow.

And even though you may hear people say it, taking extra vitamins or supplements(补品) that you can buy in a store won’t help you get taller. Just stick to a healthy diet if you want to be the tallest you can be!

Kids who wish they weren’t so tall should still eat healthy and take care of themselves, of course. Eating less won’t make you end up any shorter unless you really starved yourself and made yourself sick.

As they get older, most kids learn to feel comfortable with their height, whether they turn out tall, short, or somewhere in between.

About half an hour later all the boys in the orphanage(孤儿院)were called to the main dining-room and told we were all going to downtown Jacksonville,Florida to get a new pair of Buster Brown shoes and a haircut.That is when I got this big idea,which hit me like a ton of bricks.

A11 the way to town I told everybody, including the matron(女管家)from the orphanage who was taking us to town,that I was going to look just like Elvis Presley and that I would learn to move around just like he did and that I would be rich and famous one day, just like him

When I got my new Buster Brown shoes, I could hardly wait for my new hair cut and now that I had my new Busier Brown shoes I would be very happy to go back to the orphanage and practice being like Elvis.
