...video for “How to Save a Life.” The video, which seems to be about the death of the lead singer’s friend whom he wishes he could have saved, would be genuinely emotional if not for its overwhelmingly flat aesthetics.

Ghosn was given the job of salvage man after his bosses at Renault bought a controlling stake. Born in Brazil and reared in Lebanon, Ghosn found his way to tire giant Michelin, where he developed his restructuring chops. But he had never run a car company, let alone a Japanese one, and almost everyone bet against him: a foreigner with...
