"This is a story of multiple tragedies. There’s the tragic loss of life when two Boeing 737 Max aircraft crashed shortly after takeoff, one in Indonesia in 2018 and the other in Ethiopia just months later. And there’s the tragedy of how Boeing allowed its once-sterling name in commercial aviation to become tarnished. As Peter Robison tells it, for a long time, Boeing was a company run by engineers focused on perfecting a product. But it became a company of managers focused on enhancing shareholder value. It’s a story with lessons for much of corporate America including, let’s hope, Boeing."
