June 14, 2007Not a Yes Man

Filed under: Success Story by merylrunion |

I just returned from a dinner where my attorney husband was honored for winning a case. His client loved him. The client praised him for not being a yes-man as he thought some of the partners were. The client liked how my husband listened to his ideas but didn’t automatically agree with him.

It shows how true it can be that “playing it safe” isn’t always so safe.
