Everyone puts lot of hard effort to make any plan, however you know your boss is crazy, go to him applauding him and try to learn his idea why he wants that if you like all good but after listening to jim you can put your point. That would help you by two ways boss will understand one thing for sure that you are interested in whatever the plan is and second because of first he would value your plan or words and can be easily convinced.

Going by the saying "The Boss is always right", I will hold his idea in high regard. But then I will make him understand how that idea is important for the organisation, so to have a deep analysis of pros and cons of the idea with ll the concerned people and ultimately the decisions lies in his hands.

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.

Everyone has its own freedom to think and make it in progress as per himself or herself, if some one ask me I would tell him to listen to himself what his heart or his mind says about that because following to himself would lead to the success of his own thinking what it is called as an idea, but I would let him know my thinking also.
