Shell, one of the
biggest world companies has recently named an engineer rather than a financier
as new CEO – the news has hit the headlines. Does this move, praised by
analysts, signal the need for business leaders with deeper knowledge of the
industry and direct executive experience across the range of a company’s
activities?
Looking back
historically, isn't it that the most successful (and least disruptive) airlines
were born and thrived under the leadership of people with these dominant
qualities?
