He acknowledged Buffett's hands-off, decentralized approach has fueled massive success but leaves room for efficiencies, such as trimming excess costs, consolidating divisions, and boosting overall profitability—areas where Abel,  a stronger operational manager, could excel. Boyar remained bullish on Berkshire's outlook, and thought that Abel could  tackle the company's oversized cash reserves through measures like initiating dividends, accelerating share buybacks, or pursuing needle-moving acquisitions.   Watch the full interview below: > Question: "What are the negatives, if you can try and qualify them, of Buffett leaving? What do you think can't be replaced?" > > "Him," Boyar Research president Jonathan Boyar replies. "I mean, he is the secret sauce. People love to do deals with Warren Buffett."
