What does a "Great" Director do? Coming from a Cinematographers perspective?

[Nikhil Bhagat]

What do you guys think a great director does? What makes one? One who is able to get the most out of their team and motivate their crew and team to create something at the top of their game? What would you describe a great one does?

Strictly from a cinematographer's point of view, I like it when a director is able to collaborate in a way that respects the knowledge and experience backing our perspective. A great director should be able to trust the cinematographer because they have so much other stuff to worry about! haha
