Reassure him that you have heard his arguments, and appreciate him bringing them to your attention, but have made a decision and, unless circumstances change, you are sticking with it. If it turns out to be the wrong decision he won't be blamed, but he needs to respect your decision (and your right to make these decisions). Of course if he has a legitimate grievance then he can contact your boss or HR | |

You are the leader he does not want to follow. You must either lead and get him to follow, or cut him loose (different department, etc.) Good luck. Not on defensive...he cares about the decisions, he worries about the direction...This behavior needs to stop because... <fill in why> | |
