...result is often like a boss-employee relationship. Mom does at least half the grunt work, and she handles all of the scheduling and planning. She's the boss, and when she delegates to her employee she wants Dad to do it her way (and only her way). "I would love to share all those decisions," an admitted Gatekeeper Mom told us.

Delays in building the A380 megajet led to the ouster of EADS co-CEO Noël Forgeard as well as Airbus' top boss. Filling Forgeard's spot is Louis Gallois, head of France's railways, who will partner with EADS's remaining CEO, Tom Enders, a German. At Airbus, naming Christian Streiff CEO should placate two of EADS's largest shareholders, the French government and Germany's DaimlerChrysler. Streiff, from Lorraine, speaks German...
