Out of failure comes success

Boeing is a good example of the opposite --- out of success comes failure --- when you allow greed to become the driving force.

Greed isn’t the problem. All companies and organizations in general are greedy for more resources and greater responsibility.

Boeing is guilty of lack of foresight, lack of technical proficiency, lack of engineering culture. The problem is stupidity. Incompetence. Putting powerpoint monkeys and financial finanglers in charge and relegating the problem-solvers to the lower reaches of the pyramid.
