...trust-me CEO took another bullet last week, when American International Group (AIG) fessed up to improper bookkeeping in a deal with a unit of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway. AIG severed ties with its iconic former CEO Maurice (Hank) Greenberg. But it is Greenberg's link to the even more lionized Buffett that's causing the biggest stir...
Even if Buffett emerges clean, as many believe he will, the concept of a revered, trust-me CEO is RIP. For decades, Wall Street prized corporate leaders who could dip into their financial black box and deliver steady, no-surprise earnings, even if investors had no idea precisely how those magic numbers were reached.

The trust that he was God's instrument, that he was not roughly predestined but specifically preserved to find his place at the turn of the millennium, lay behind his every act. In his evangelization, he was so terribly urgent; in his doctrine, so unbending; for the children, so utterly hopeful...
...What I've learned about directing is how to say the least amount you can say and find a way to communicate that to the actors. I only cast people that I trust. And then there is a mutual trust. Because it's not that I'm not composing shots, but without the actor I really don't have anything. All my work is about character. It's all about what goes on behind the eyes of an actor. If the actor feels hemmed in or emotionally stopped up because of what I'm doing, then I'm actually killing...
