Have you ever had a great idea and thought “My boss will never go for that?”
It should not be the end of your great idea.
Maybe your boss is not the right person to put it to, so put it to someone else.
Maybe you are not the right person to bring it to your boss, so ask someone else to bring it to her.
Or maybe someone other than you should bring it to someone other than your boss.
“It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.”
Harry S. Truman
