How do you generally approach a coworker if you don't like their idea?

[Shavkat]

In real life, we were created with different minds and ideas. If I do not like the idea of someone, I will tell him or her that I appreciate his or her idea. Then, I will politely say that I disagree with it. Moreover, I will explain why I disagree with his or her idea. I can showcase some of my ideas, and let's see how we agree on one option in the end.

We are all different with diverse views, opinions, suggestions and perspectives so I respect all of that. I think it is good to also assess other ideas and adopt them where necessary

If I do not think the idea of a co-worker will work, I will let him/her know frankly in a respectful manner. I'll let him/her know why I think this way, and give my suggestions and discuss with him/her.

The most important thing is for you to be open to other people's ideas because their ideas might actually be what is going to work different from what you are thinking.

This is why we need to agree even in disagreement. you have to let the person know why you think the person views are not acceptable but be very polite about it.

I will invite them to talk heart to heart face to face, I will convey the shortcomings or risks that might arise from their ideas. Perhaps he had not gone that far in thinking about the risks that might arise. If he accepts my opinion then that's to be expected, if not then I'll let him.

I think we can't agree with all ideas and opinions brought on board. Therefore turning down of some ideas may be done diplomatically and professionalism. Argument using facts and basic principles helps.

 

[cherry123]

Not all ideas and opinions would be accepted so it is professionally and diplomatically turn down some ideas that are needed and wouldn't help. So it is to be in agreement before now

I hope the every member should be opened in giving their brilliant ideas. It is not a good thing if we have people who are so passive. I cannot work with these people. I will surely be disappointed and frustrated at the same time.

You simply have to be polite about it, while doing this, you should be able to give a legit reason as to why you do not agree with their idea, and also offer a solution.

I will just make sure that I talk to them politely in a way that they will not get angry. We are from different homes as you have said and it will not be nice for me to talk to anyone rudely

 

[cherry123]

Just make sure that you talk to them politely. This will be in a way that they will not get anyone annoyed just be polite when addressing the issue with them

 

[Passiveearner]

Well, I think that just because you do not like their idea, then this does not mean that their ideas are necessarily bad ones. They might be right ones on certain occasions. It all depends on the circumstances.

 

[Bisolami]

Just make sure that you talk to them politely. This will be in a way that they will not get anyone annoyed just be polite when addressing the issue with them

Some people take things seriously especially when you talk to them in a rude manner and that is why you should learn how to talk to people and not just talk to them anyhow

 

[Shortie]

If a co-worker has an idea but deep down I know that it would not be a good idea then I will open up and tell them and voice my reasons as to why. I always feel that when working within a business and with a co-worker as well, you do need to communicate and voice your concerns so that things run smoothly. Sitting back and allowing an idea that you do not agree with to go ahead would only make things difficult.

 

[Heatman]

This is why we need to agree even in disagreement. you have to let the person know why you think the person views are not acceptable but be very polite about it.

The first duty of anyone that is working in any company is to carry out their duties without having their personal feelings affect whoever they are supposed to work with.

 

[cherry123]

in things like this one just have to he open. you just go ahead and tell them your stance and voice your reasons as to why. It is not that hard

 

[Suba]

Even if you don't like the ideas of your co-workers, it's not certain that their ideas are bad and can't be implemented, so before you judge an idea, it's not from likes or dislikes, but from the ability to work on that idea, so you have to review it, maybe their ideas are better. better than our idea

 

[cherry123]

Yeah, certain ideas by others are not bad and can't be implemented, if we look at it critically so before you dumped an idea, it's good to assess it well

 

[Sophie]

I think that approaching a coworker who's idea are different is a good idea.
But it's better done privately and not in the open as some people might find it offensive
