Bus/Financial - Human Resources
English term or phrase: pleaser
Kontext: Es geht um die "inneren Saboteure", die die Leistungen von Mitarbeitern im Unternehmen mindern und sich negativ auf ihr gesamtes Arbeitsumfeld auswirken.


Our Saboteurs act as strengths on a good day but they are also the behaviours that undermine us on a bad day, under stress and under pressure.

Saboteurs start off as our guardians to help us survive the real and imagined threats we face as children.

So, let’s have a look now at the nine saboteurs:
- the stickler
- the pleaser
- the hyper vigilant
- the restless
- the controller
- the avoider
- the hyper achiever
- the victim
- the hyper rational

The Pleaser:

In a good day, the pleaser is helpful, encourages, supports others and brings people with him. In a bad day, he can be disempowering, suffocating and try too hard.

So what are some of his characteristics? Strong need to be liked; doesn’t express own needs openly and directly; seeks to rescue, flatter and please others.

What are the thoughts that guide his behaviours? To be a good person I have to put others needs before my own; If I don’t help them, who will?

What type of feelings does the pleaser experience? Resents being taken for granted; worried that asking for their needs to be met will be selfish or drive others away

What lies does the pleaser come up with to justify his behaviours? I help others selflessly and expect nothing in return. Because I serve others, I feel good about myself
So what is the impact of his behaviours on others? Others can become dependent; Well others can be become dependent, feel obligated, manipulated, or even guilty

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Britta Norris: "Es-allen-recht-Macher" finde ich sehr passend; im Englischen wird statt 'pleaser' ja auch oft 'people pleaser' verwandt, das zeigt die vergleichbare Bedeutung wohl noch etwas besser auf.
