Should I Say "Yes" or "No"

| Posted in Uncategorized |

For some reason there have been quite a few posts recently on answering Yes or No. To start off here are the various posts that have come across by Bloglines:
  • Let your yes be yes from Mark Batterson who quotes his coffehouse manager who said, “I don’t want to say yes just because it’s hard to say no.”
  • Then there was Our default answer is yes over on The Appian Way blog where Clif guy states “Our job is to find a way to say ‘yes’.” “No” is easy.”
  • Clif then references Dave Ferguson on his blog and his Want Innovation? Lead with a “Yes!” post where he says we need to “Develop a ‘yes’ reflex” and then goes on to say “‘Yes’ gives you time to figure it out.”
  • In another post Dave references Katherine Hudson, the President and CEO of W.H. Brady Co. who is quoted saying, “When someone offers you a challenge, don’t think of all the reasons why you can’t do it. Instead, say, “Yes!” Then figure out how you’ll get it done.”

Well, after all that I don’t really have anything profound to say but my thoughts are that I’m still going to answer “Yes”, “No”, and more than likely I’ll even throw in a “Maybe” now and then.

“Yes” is such a sweet word to the ears… we all need to practice it more.
