Everyone needs someone in their lives that they can count on, someone to call when there’s no one else to call. And, these days, with radical change and ongoing disruption a constant part of every business, the most valuable people in any company are the ones you can count on in a crisis or a crunch--the "go-to" guys and girls. The people who are there in a pinch and who you naturally tend to run to, not from, when the feces hits the fan.
This isn't part of anyone's job description, and it's not something you can create on the fly. That's why there's no better investment you could possibly make in your career or your future than being the first stop when someone's looking for help, versus the last resort.
The good news is that this is a trait you can develop over time, like any other part of your reputation. If you're truly committed and your efforts are sincere and authentic, you can make it happen. Here's how. Via The Learning Factor

Your boss proposes a new initiative you think won’t work. Your senior colleague outlines a project timeline you think is unrealistic. What do you say when you disagree with someone who has more power than you do? How do you decide whether it’s worth speaking up? And if you do, what exactly should you say? Via The Learning Factor

Show them you’re on the same side.

In change programs you often deal with a lot of politics and may be tempted to go along. If you are committed to the success of the change you must also dare take personal risks. You need to say what you honestly think is going on and sometimes report hard things to hear. Tough messages for the sponsors, often in very high positions. They may not be used to getting honest feedback or constructive criticism. Prepare well.
