Many in senior leadership and especially the president have little/no people skills or leadership ability. HR (who are completely disconnected from reality) talk about values, but leadership (in Epsilon Digital Media and elsewhere in Epsilon and beyond in Publicis) blatantly does not practice many of them day to day. It has an odd and somewhat negative culture rooted in lack of trust, 2nd guessing everything, homemade crises, etc. As they say, 'the fish stinks from the head down.'
