It depends a lot on where you work. I have worked at places where I have delivered what I thought were superior results compared to what they were asking but they were upset because it wasn't exactly what they asked for. Other places give a lot more authority and a wide latitude. Startups tend to be a lot more flexible in this regard and it is why I prefer working at startups vs enterprise companies.
