How to use "Yes-man" in context?
When someone is a yes-man, they tend to do anything and everything their superiors or boss asks of them in order to avoid conflict or confrontation. This can often times be counterproductive and actually end up causing more problems than before. A yes-man only becomes a problem when they start to feel like they are the only one capable of meeting the demands of their position, which can lead to them taking on too much and not taking enough of a LISTENING attitude.
