Sir, I clearly understand which way you are heading but it would be great if we take a bird eye view on the entire scenerio rather than focusing on only the positive aspects of the project

There is a way to put it across, I never tell him on the face that the idea is not good. I rather tell him what alternative could be done and if he is okay with that?

It makes lot of difference between saying "You know what your idea is not good at all!"

And saying "Sir, WHy don't we do this instead of that? don't you think it could be more effective?"

Boss is always right, because his or her knowledge much more better then me, my experience says that any idea which I feeling as crazy, this is actually not like that. Because I'm watching a part of that idea not watching the overall of that idea or plan.

If boss is open for ideas then i'l discuss my points with him so that he can re-think on certain points of his vision, if he's nt open to new ideas from subordinates, then i'll follow "boss is always right" rule.

The idea can go wrong for some but might be the best in world for my manager's point of view. In such situation, I will try so that my manager can have a look on the idea from an all around perspective also. There is a possibility that some better idea might come up due to this process.

In my view, "Boss is always right". If he take a decision with his vast experience, then I will support him, but if he ask me about my point-of-view on his decision then I will honestly tell him about my own idea to his decision, so that he could take a better decision.
