I will share the best idea that comes in my mind at that time. I will not criticize that idea but I will appreciate that idea since it is for the company's growth.

I would have a detailed discussion with my boss, where both of us would keep our views. I would try to look at the idea from his perspective, and try to explain my point of view too. Together, we will try to reach a common solution. Only after having a one-on-one discussion and listing out all the data points, can it be decided whether an idea is actually great or "stinks".

I'll make him aware of the consequences of implementation of idea by putting a real situation virtually and if he understands my point of view I'll appreciate it otherwise do as he say since that will be my duty.

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.

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.

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.
