The past year and a half has been a radical shift in the creative culture. A new CXO (basically the CCO) has instilled a culture of fear. This man has a set of skills, but working with other human beings is not one of them. He enters almost every meeting with visible anger that puts everyone on edge. He thinks this is making the work better. In truth, it’s traumatizing his team. Rounds of layoffs are removing people he deems “unfit”. Middle leadership is unwilling or unable to reign in his rude, angry, unprofessional behavior.
