^ is what I love about HN.

Is it better to stand by and let them get on with it, or to join them and provide a different opinion? A counterbalance?

I'm in the second camp; work with people, spread your ideas. Give it a try.

Of course I'm also of the opinion that, at board level, it's healthy to have a range of opinions. Only then can you make informed and reasonable decisions.

For the observant (or the fellow Hollanders), we call it the Polder Model (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polder_Model).

> at board level, it's healthy to have a range of opinions

This is very true... perhaps its one reason why Groupon is struggling so much. Without knowing the board dynamics, its impossible to say, but if I was in their position, I'd want people on the board criticizing every move. So long as it wasn't a majority of the board that is...
