chosen.content: There are many ways to effectively dismiss or refute silly proposals from your staff. Asking questions such as, 'How will this plan work in practice?', 'What risks are involved with implementing this idea?' or 'Have you considered the potential costs of this decision?' can help to get your point across without being too aggressive. In addition, using counterarguments or re-proposing an alternate idea may be effective means of putting forth a counter-proposal. In some cases, it may also be useful to simply admit that the idea is not practical or feasible without being too critical. Lastly, offering a helpful alternative solution can show that you and your employees are capable of thinking outside the box in order to reach a successful outcome.
