Sir/Mam, I believe I must prioritize the well-being of the company above all. If my boss is passionate about an idea that could potentially harm the company, I feel obligated to respectfully and pragmatically point it out.
I would approach the situation with compassion and care, ensuring that my feedback does not come across as offensive, mocking, or insulting.
My goal would be to highlight the positive aspects of the idea while addressing any concerns in a nuanced and constructive manner.

I would first acknowledge his suggestion as one way of doing things, then share mine as another alternative citing its strengths and advantages but leave my boss an opportunity to either take my option or incorporate ideas as a blend.

Before approaching the Boss, I will analyse the problem related to that idea and try to solve the problem. If don't then I'm going to share the drawback problem related to that idea with the Boss. So, that Boss can rethink and try to solve the problem.

I will give my opinion and if he agrees then it's good and if doesn't we go by his decision. Because experience has its say.

I think I don't have much knowledge and experience at this stage of the job so I would like to give the best advice if I can but if I won't have then I'll leave it to him because he/she must be more experienced than me.

As the rule says the boss is always right I will follow that rule because he or she is having lots of knowledge and experience and if they ask my viewpoint that I will suggest my viewpoint and leave the decision on his hand.

I would fully support him, as my boss is greater to me in experience and knowledge I would respect his views and support him in reaching his goals.
Well if I think his idea stinks then I would provide constructive feedback to him about improving his idea.
