When W. James Mcnerney jr. decided that Boeing Co.'s top managers needed a loud wake-up call, the new chief executive chose the obvious place to sound the alarm: the company's annual ex-ecutive retreat on Jan. 4 and 5. A year earlier, the event had been held at the posh Mission Hills Country Club in Palm Springs, Calif., and nobody apparently had a better time than McNerney's predecessor, Harry Stonecipher. After a day devoted largely to socializing and playing golf, toe former CEO, surrounded by Boeing's elite, closed down toe bar and then fired up a cigar. It was at the same event that toe married Stonecipher began a relationship with a female vice-president at Boeing-a misjudgment that ultimately paved toe way for his humiliating ouster on Mar. 6, and for McNerney's appointment as CEO on July 5. Stonecipher could not be reached for comment.

James Mcnerney jr。决定波音公司的高层管理人员需要一个响亮的警钟，新任首席执行官选择了一个明显的响起警报的地方：该公司于1月4日和5日举行的年度执行务虚会。曾在加利福尼亚棕榈泉豪华的米申希尔斯乡村俱乐部举行，显然没有人比麦克纳尼的前任哈里·斯通西弗（Harry Stonecipher）拥有更好的时光。在专心于社交和打高尔夫球的一天之后，前波音的前首席执行官被波音的精英们包围，关闭了脚趾杆，然后放了一支雪茄。在同一事件中，脚趾结婚的斯通塞弗开始与波音公司的一名女副总统建立关系，这是一种错误的判断，最终为他于3月6日被羞辱的下台以及麦克纳尼在7月5日被任命为首席执行官铺平了道路。对此不予置评。
