			<description><![CDATA[I’m struggling with how to handle a key employee who is technically brilliant but whose constant negativity is starting to poison team meetings. Their critical feedback is often valid, but the delivery is so demoralizing that it’s shutting down collaboration. I’m worried that if I address the attitude directly, I’ll lose their valuable insights, but ignoring it is clearly damaging morale. Has anyone successfully navigated this kind of situation without causing a bigger rift?]]></description>
