Best approach: Don't hire people like that. Good approach: Specify that complaints be non-specific to a person on the team.

  > Specify that complaints be non-specific to a person on the team. Very often, it is the case that a specific person /is/ the problem.

    Well yeah, but just don't call them out. If you identify a problem, the person responsible will (usually) know you're talking about them, and may even appreciate that you're not calling them out in front of the team. If necessary, you can always reach out to them one-on-one afterwards.

      I agree with your premise. I’m talking more about reality, where there can be bad actors and incompetent management.
