Brainstorming can be a very powerful activity as long as everyone in the room has the right idea in mind. Obviously each person in the room needs to feel comfortable sharing ideas. That's simply not always the case.
Here is a really good article about who NOT to invite.
But as the article suggests, you can't always avoid bringing them into the room. I like the suggestions they outline to help with this. Most important, I think, is to set the tone right up front so that everyone feels comfortable share.
Otherwise they won't...and the organization loses.
