I found that learning how and when to say 'no' to your boss is a great start.

My general tips (not always possible or applicable, but hey):

- Highlight the cost of doing what he says. There is always a cost, but either you or him/her may be misunderstanding or miscalculating it.

- Ask why it needs to be done.

- Offer alternatives.

- Keep in mind he/she has more to lose than you if the conversation goes bad.

- Stay polite.
