Frederick H. Waddell, chairman and chief executive officer, Northern Trust Corporation, had a baptism by fire when he was picked to head one of the largest independent banks in the US in early 2008. The US financial system began to implode the same year and went through a torrid phase. Waddell talks about what saw during the crisis and also the controversial bail-out package for banks that followed.
