My Take
Dave Calhoun interests me less as a celebrity than as a study in crisis leadership. Taking the controls at Boeing in early 2020, he inherited the 737 MAX disaster and a pandemic that gutted aviation in the same breath. I find his tenure genuinely hard to grade: rebuilding trust in a wounded aerospace giant is the kind of job where success is invisible and failure is front-page news. He is not a charismatic founder type but the steady operator boards reach for when a company is bleeding. Whatever the verdict on his results, he stood in a fire most executives would flee.
