The thing is, some people do not understand what is being said and just “rubber stamp” everything they think they are hearing. It then comes back to bite us in the end.

I've discovered you always have to get them to say what you want them to do in their own words, when they start with "yeah, yeah, yeah" routine. It's obviously a cultural thing. Many just plain will not admit that they don't understand what is being discussed.
