Thanks for the link. It has some good tips but I guess it's indicative of how hard it can be to give direct negative feedback that even your book on the subject doesn't provide one example of how to give negative feedback. I'm not sure if talking with that person is an option. My picture of him is a narcissistic person that is not susceptible to criticism. My friend will try to get a recording ("for the minutes") of the next meeting. Without proof, talking to the manager could also back-fire.
