Sumit should keep in mind that generation of ideas and evaluation of ideas should be separate. While it's helpful to acknowledge good ideas, labeling one as the "best" can shut down creative thinking and discourage the exploration of other options. It's important to encourage all ideas during brainstorming without immediately judging them as good or bad. This helps to create an open and positive atmosphere where people feel comfortable sharing their ideas.
