But Boeing was (is?) all about hard core engineering where mistakes cost lives. Good managers can come from furniture, but if you're leading a "pure" engineering and manufacturing firm, I think it's extremely helpful to have a background in the subject. If you read Mullaly's book he was appalled at what he found in Ford corporate culture and stomped hard on toes and fiefdoms to right the ship. Human beings and bureaucracies being what they are, they rear their ugly heads if not constantly chopped off. Maybe the "new guy" can continue Mullaly's good work but I'm skeptical.Ford’s last really good CEO was Alan Mullaly. Before Ford he was in aerospace. Boeing to be exact. More technical than furniture, for sure, but still not cars.
