How Boeing Lost Its Bearings - article about how the downfall of the company started when MBAs ran the company

https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/11…

There's been a lot of talk of Finance vs Tech these days. This article about how Boeing went downhill after Finance guys started making key decisions really drives home the point of what happens when you put Finance guys in charge of actually engineering or technology decision making.

I think the next decade will be dominated by tech, but at the same time finance holds a really important place in growth that tech folks usually don't have vision for. Ideally you have a person with both a tech and finance background running the company (e.g. Sundar Pichai, ex engineer and McKinsey consultant).
