How it's used
Describing someone as 隨和 implies they are flexible and lack a rigid ego, making them pleasant to be around. It is frequently used to compliment someone who does not insist on their own way during group decision making. Unlike being indecisive, this term carries a positive connotation of being accommodating and low maintenance.
Examples
He is very easygoing and doesn't mind whatever we do.
You can pick whichever restaurant, I'm very easygoing.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 隨便, which can sometimes carry a negative nuance of being sloppy, careless, or lacking principles depending on the context. While 隨和 is always a compliment about personality, 隨便 can imply a lack of standards.
