There are a variety of methods which can be used to “shoot down” a stupid idea from your employees. A key method is to ask the employees further questions about their idea, in order to discover potential flaws and drawbacks which could suggest that the idea itself is not feasible. Another method would be to provide constructive criticism and provide alternative ideas which may be beneficial. Lastly, expressing disagreement in a friendly and firm manner may be a good way to make sure that the employee doesn’t continue to pursue a bad idea.
