Before responding negatively to opinions, ideas and initiatives take a quick mental inventory and answer these questions;
i. Is there a solution to the problem I see?
ii. Is any solution objectively better or do I just think that it is because its mine?
iii. Do I understand the reasoning this idea, and can I express it to accepted level
iv. Are there aspects of this idea that can be built upon?
Instead of just saying ‘’NO’’ express your understanding of the thought process that got the presenter to their idea, and identify some positive aspects that can be use to find more optimal solution. The key thing here is that, instead of dismissing other ideas as bad, you present your own idea as better
