In his first "Tech Town Hall" to the IT staff, his answer to a question about what he considered culture was "No profanity-removed". Then he giggled like a child looking around the room for approving gazes from his direct reports .He answered a question about promoting diversity in the tech workforce by counting the people of color in the room and on the board, before being interrupted by one of his handlers. The height of the town hall was watching him nearly lose his shorts when someone had tried to record the Teams meeting.
Rob C. Holmes is probably an okay banker, but executive leadership skills are not his forte. I'm sure being a little big shot in the big JPMorgan pond that no one ever questioned his tactics and his ideological immunity formed from from his moderate success (at a place impossible to fail) is now a full blown case of Dunning-Kruger syndrome.
He began beating the drum of returning to the office on his first day, vaccine or not, still have kids in zoom school? Here's a link to childcare services I can recommend. He ran off top level executive talent almost immediately that our customers revered and trusted. He cherry picked articles about how even companies like google were returning to the office (yes, in September). But he really missed the larger point that the world changed and he is incapable of adapting. He made his entire "operating committee" add their signatures to all future communications about returning to the office like they were signing the declaration of independence?!@# At least 4 of those members have since departed.
