Bloomberg suggest a solution resembling my Engineer CEO / Wall Street savvy CFO duo. They say why not 2 CEOs?
I say why not an Engineer who has advanced grasp of business affairs (and Shanahan IS such a person) in tandem with a CFO who can look after the bottom line and restructuring of the company and who can speak to the shareholders and the investors in clear cut language?
And I'd say an equally powerfull COO, someone who will be able to make decisions in regard to who's gonna go in the middle ranks, what kind of remedial programs will be out in place, ensuring quality control is optimal etc..
Boeing needs a powerful triad of persons in my opinion not an all-encompassing, Napoleonic CEO like a Condit or a Jack Welch. The one man rule of corporate governance is over
