I believe the optimal strategy is to be neither the doer nor the critic, but rather the key man behind the doer -- working behind the scenes, supplying him with technical and operational support. The one the doer depends upon and is grateful for. Well paid and well positioned to profit if he succeeds, but enough distance to not be on the critic's radar and to walk away unscathed if he fails. Much better reward/risk ratio in my experience.
