I'm in consulting. And I can't count the times where I told people to say no to the client! (learn to say no) But they can't... Some just can't say no to save

I'm in consulting. And I can't count the times where I told people to say no to the client! (learn to say no)
But they can't... Some just can't say no to save there life.
Some just want to work looong hours.
And some are just too nice and avoid conflict.
Its frustrating, especially they could work on long term valuable stuff..
- mjfisher 7y agoI think there's two kinds of situation this occurs in. There's the "not yet learnt" kind where people don't know what they can deliver, over-promise, and end up in an awkward situation. There's also a trickier, structural situation that I think is more common. If managers don't have real ownership of their client relationships, they learn they become effectively unable to say "no". If they try, someone else will say "yes" instead.
