As he should have. The point being a bit twofold. YDB95 pointed out that CEOs paid far more than employees aren’t a guarantee of excellent steerage. And to your point about quality control being an issue at Boeing, that is correct and you can trace that directly back to when safety conscious Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas and the MD CEO was appointed CEO of the merged companies (that retained the Boeing name) and the company started paying attention to creating shareholder value at the expense of safety, and over time here we are. And an industry like that safety cannot take a backseat to anything, which falls on the culture and goals the CEO sets.Boeing’s CEO resigned. The majority of CEOs are up to the job. Boeing’s situation is an exception not the rule. Quality control is the ever present headache that CEOs worry constantly about.
I’m sure some CEOs are worth a lot of money and have the expertise to navigate a company out of danger, but on the whole, I doubt most are worth those soaring salaries. So I wouldn’t say Boeing is the exception, it’s more like the most glaring example.
