I do not understand the nature of this confidentiality concern.

If nomcom interviews disclose a pattern of statement that AD Brute is
confrontational and intimidating in their interactions style, then
having a chat with the AD, describing the pattern of perceptions and the
need for a softer and more respectful and more collaborative style, does
not violate anyone's confidentiality.
