Toggle9. Answer Their Questions, Always
When a team member suggests a really bad idea, it might be because they don’t fully understand the goals and vision of the company. In such situations, it’s important to create an open environment where they can ask questions about why their idea is not suitable. You need to clearly communicate the main objectives and goals of the project, and encourage discussions about resource budgets and timelines. Allow every employee to share their perspectives and ideas about the goals. It is your responsibility to ask further questions, address any misunderstandings, and provide corrections where needed. Communication is crucial in these situations. Make sure you are approachable and open to answering their doubts freely.
10. Try To Keep Your Company’s Goals Clear
If your employees are coming up with bad ideas and wrong perspectives, it might be because your company’s goals and aims are not clear. It is important to communicate your company’s objectives and vision in a crystal-clear manner. This will provide a framework for your employees to base their ideas on. Once they understand the purpose of the company on a deeper level, they can align their strategies and ideas more effectively. However, if any idea contradicts the primary goals of the company, it’s better to address it early on. Remember, you can work with possibilities, but not with things that are impossible.
