I have no idea how the Boeing board works, but most boards aren't involved in the day-to-day operations of the corporation and would be considered separate from the "leadership team".
- johannes1234321 7y agoStill the purpose of a board is to have oversight, which is mostly about signing of company structures and signing of processes for large processes the process for creating and approving a major new product line. And well, if they'd pick some lower manager the critique would be the same. And if they pick an outsider the critique would be about them not understanding the business ... critique is always the easy part.
- kbenson 7y agoIt's entirely possible that there was dissent on the board and some faction that was pushing for more responsible practices was overruled. If so, the changing circumstances may have empowered that faction and/or a specific person on the board. I mean, that's just one possible situation where someone coming from the board won't necessarily be more of the same, but I don't know why we should assume the board acts of one mind. That seems really unlikely to me.
