Yes man
Yes man is a pejorative term (borrowed from the German "Jasager") for a person who outwardly displays agreement with his superiors' opinions in order to gain power or prestige. Such behaviour is said to be common in role-oriented organizations where decision-making power or prestige is concentrated in the few.
