We all are not alike and everybody have a different point of view. For my boss it might be an excellent idea but for me there could have been a better idea that his/her's. The best way is to have a brainstorming session to make sure that the company is benefited with the idea irrespective of whoever decision has come to a conclusion.

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.

Firstly, the boss is never always correct and If he has a great idea, one should never correct him or suggest that it is of substandard quality on his part. The best approach should be initially to request why and how he has come to the idea and why he favors it to be implemented.

Only then can you, yourself, have the ability to understand whether you can provide alternative options or counter-arguments. If it is truly a bad idea, this approach will surface the disadvantages and at the same time keep yours/his integrity and relationship intact. If at that time you have alternative suggestions to perhaps complement his idea, then this would be the right time to make them.

Firstly, I would make the analysis on comparison between my points and boss's points, will collect all the data using which I can convince him, then will set up a one on one meeting for the discussion and will put forward the data in a way that he do not get hurt. And as we all would be working for betterment of organization, so if he feels that his idea is best one to implement than would follow that and would try to give my best on it.
