All good managers rely on the people under them to give them high quality information and feedback to make decisions. don't blanket all managers as being too egotistical to avoid irrational escalation of commitment.
That being said, decisions like reversing project directions or pivoting are usually huge multi-party decisions not up to a single person (unless it gets escalated to the very very top).
A politically savvy employee would be able to make it work. Albeit, after saving the project (or making an admirable effort that catches everyone's eye), that employee would probably be marked by management for a management role. ;)
