he is the Boss and he has to lead and the team member follow him, some times the team members think that the Boss is wrong but he is not, and some times he is already wrong and its his responsability, but you have to inform him in decent way

I would hope that the boss would appreciate me presenting the evidence to just say that He/She may be wrong, though I wouldn't want to be in their faces about it. It depends on the situation. I will keep quiet till when the pressure is less I can now explain. The boss is not always right so I must to make him/her understand so that such conflict will not arise.

I'll make sure I get all the facts and present it to him/her and sometimes if they see you correct them, they'll think twice about letting you go because a boss doesn't always want a yes person, someone must always be there to tell him no sometimes.

So many questions about Boss being wrong, I suppose it indicates some sort of a trend or obsession. Anyhow, the answer lies in the art of communications skill. there is always a polite way of saying the unwanted things.

Personally speaking,  I flow with wind for the time when I see no room for argument, later I suggests the alternative way for the topic. If I see the boss still want his way and do not like  to change the decision; then I bring the matter in black and white, for the record. I

first of all how was it decided that he was wrong,usually we dissagee with them but that really doesn't make either party wrong.

unless it is confirmed that he did wrong which will be noticed by his superiors,judging he is wrong is wrong.

I suggest that you reconsider your assessment. Wrong and right are relative values depending on so many aspects the most imprtant of them is how much you know compared to your boss regarding the subject matter.

That doesn't mean that bosses can never be wrong. If I am not part of the process, I will try to present my point of view. If I am part of the process, I will have to present my point of view but I beleive that it is not my decesion at the end of the day. If I can't influence the situation, I will then have to decide whether to continue or to leave for another job as and when possible.

when the Boss is in good mood just be polite and ask if he would have done that thing in a better way so it will force him to think he would be wrong and would have done it better. As everyone is a human and humans make mistakes Bosses can be wrong as well not everytime but sometimes.
