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

Good ways to shoot down stupid ideas from your employees include being assertive yet constructive, asking questions rather than making statements, providing specific examples of why the idea is not viable, focusing on the big picture rather than the immediate details, presenting possible solutions, and encouraging out of the box thinking. Being open to ideas but realistic about the scope and feasibility is key to shooting down bad ideas productively.
