This book probably has some interesting insights:

"You Can't Order Change: Lessons from Jim McNerney's Turnaround at Boeing" - December 26, 2008

Probably mostly of the "do the opposite of whatever this guy says" variety. ;)

The top review on this book says:

    The author credits James McNerney for turning around Boeing. He     neglected to say which way they were turning. For example, he     credits JN for outsourcing so much of the 787 -- which included     the wings, perhaps the thing Boeing did best. The 787 ended up     way over budget and three years late. That's good management?
This seems like a good follow up book too:
