What are good ways to shoot down stupid ideas from my employees?

Good ways to shoot down stupid ideas from employees include gently confronting the idea and providing clear evidence why the idea won't work. You can also offer alternatives that would be more effective, or take the initiative yourself to take action on the idea. Providing constructive feedback and helping employees think through their ideas can also prevent mistakes from happening in the future.
