作为具有80年历史的波音公司的第七位领导人,波音新任首席执行官菲利普·康迪的背景和举止和这个时代非常合拍。热爱交际的康迪和他那些正经得多的前任有很大不同,无论在技术性会议上、工厂车间里还是在办公室中,他都感觉良好。他先后从事过飞机设计、市场营销、产品销售和工程管理等工作,还领导了全电脑设计的宽机身的波音777飞机的早期开发。但也许他最具时代性、最非波音的品格便是对工作中人员所起作用的浓厚兴趣。 As the seventh leader of the 80-year-old Boeing Company, the background and behavior of Boeing’s new CEO, Philippe Condi, is in perfect harmony with this era. Conde, who is a social communicator, is very different from his much-maligned predecessors. He feels good in technical meetings, factory workshops, and offices. He has worked in aircraft design, marketing, product sales and engineering management, and also led the early development of the wide-bodied Boeing 777 aircraft designed by the computer. But perhaps his most contemporary and non-Boeing character is a keen interest in the work of the people.
