Working under the newly appointed CMO has been one of the most disheartening professional experiences of my career (worked with him in a previous company). While I believe in giving people the benefit of the doubt, the sheer toxicity and dysfunctionality of this individual’s leadership style made it impossible to thrive—or even survive—mentally or professionally. The newly appointed CMO is the embodiment of self-centered leadership. Every decision, no matter how impactful on the team or business, is taken impulsively and with zero regard for those involved. He routinely places people on Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) not because of actual underperformance, but often as punishment for taking personal time off for weddings, missing a single deadline, or worse—just because he “felt like it.” This fosters an atmosphere of fear, not growth. The emotional detachment and lack of empathy are staggering. People are treated not as human beings, but as disposable tools. His behavior is laced with rudeness, unprofessional tantrums, and random, aggressive outbursts. Team members are frequently berated publicly, while behind closed doors, he constantly gossips and bad-mouths both peers and senior leadership. The hypocrisy is unbearable—he changes his mind daily, contradicts himself regularly, and then blames others for the resulting chaos. Holding anyone accountable in this environment becomes a dangerous game, as scapegoating is the default mode of operation. This is not leadership. It is a masterclass in toxic management. If your organization values people, culture, or long-term business success, keeping someone like him in a leadership role is a grave mistake.

No major cons as of now
