What then, if the boss has fragile ego regarding feedback? Maybe if you somehow let him overhear the bad news or have him read notes "by accident".
Next thing you know the boss will come to you (the employee in question) and tell you, that he has decided, he is not able to be very active in the next project, and you should take the lead.
I'm joking a little, but some bosses need to come up with the idea themselves, if you want something put into action.
