Well...yes and no. I've been hired to do things precisely because they relied on me to either take the heat from the higher-ups about not doing things the way the company usually did them, or to push management towards a better understanding of the difference between what was possible and what was a good idea or to be the one who had the big fight with the CEO, so that no one else had to or the one who ...you get the idea.
