David L. Calhoun has retired from his role as CEO of Boeing and recently appointed Mr. David Ortberg as his successor. As an esteemed figure in the industry, Ortberg is known for having a hands-on approach to leadership, which includes visiting factory floors, interacting with employees, and observing operations up front. This style is expected to be a drastic but refreshing change for Boeing, which has previously been led by executives with more traditional office-based roles. Ortberg’s approach marks a shift in Boeing’s corporate culture and could be a critical factor in addressing the company’s recent challenges.
