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 opportunity. When that time comes about, don't embarrass them by putting them on the spot. Instead, ask them what they think, avoid yes­no 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 persons do not realize that they agree with everything.
