I used to work with a consultant who was a bit of a maverick and would regularly get dismissed from his clients after he ignored all the top brass and immediately went to talk to the people on the floor to find out what was really going on. Nearly every time his radical solutions and reports, which made sense, would just get filed in a drawer because they got rid of middle management. He didn't care if they implemented his ideas. He'd just move on to the next.
