Hi Anu ...

I second opinion expressed by Rajnish.

Dress Code is a matter of Company Culture !!

The Leadership of the Company is often responsible for setting up the Company Culture (informally) which over a period of time gets engraved in the Culture of the Company as well as in Hard Copy Company Policy.

Is your CEO the only one having a 'different / casual' Dress code ??

Do you have a well defined / or even simply defined Dress Code ??

Depending upon your personal relationship with your Boss,

Maybe you can even discuss / find out the CEO's opinion and point of view about the Dress Code ...

maybe the CEO indeed is having a casual dress code 'intentionally' so as to cultivate an 'informal' company culture where everyone is comfortable

The meaning and interpretation and perception has 'changed' over the recent times .... A casual Dress Code need not necessarily indicate 'inprofessionalism'. It is the attitude that actually matters.

Even when your CEO is interviewing for Senior Roles, the candidates being interviewed will judge you CEo by his Attitude, Business Sense and the way he conducts the Interview !! If they are also biased by "dress sense" ... well ... i guess they should not be a part of leadership !!

Hi,
At this point of time, I don't think she is worried about the CEO's capabilities, more so his competencies. What is bothering her is the fact that the CEO (inspite of not performing himself) is directing her to change.
Ann : Correct me if i'm wrong.
I see it this way, the CEO has compimented you on being aggressive and competent. What he is asking you to be is PROACTIVE. Now the stage is set by the CEO (since he is not performing, perhaps he knows that) for you to work in tandem, proactively to resurrect the business or the business plan. And moreso you are aggressive, channelise that aggressive energy towards being more proactive too. Give him suggestion, work parallely with the CEO..Some HR initiatives for the CEO

Hi shoOOonya,

"Is your CEO the only one having a 'different / casual' Dress code ??" - Yes, he is only one. Everybody else wear professional attires.

"Do you have a well defined / or even simply defined Dress Code ??" - Yes, I have the Policies and Employees hand book ready. The time I finished it I showed it to him, But he said that he go through it later, I don't think he has looked at it.

Dress Code Policy: Employees should maintain a neat, well groomed appearance at all times. Employees should avoid extremes in dress.

Formal Wear : Monday to Thursday

Informal Wear : Friday

Men are expected to be in Formal Business attire e.g. Collared Shirt, Trousers and Leather Shoes and Smart Business Casuals.

Women are expected to be in Indian or Western Formal wear e.g. Sari, Salwar Kameez, and Trousers.

His 'attitude' is ok. I guess slowly and in very subtly we have to talk to him regard dress code.

"i guess they (dress code) should not be a part of leadership !!. - I have other opinion about this, I think it make a lot of difference if the person whom we look up to as Leader is not dressed appropriately.

Leadership is mix to may things, dresscode is one of them, thought minor % of it.

Thanks 4 advice.

Hmmmm ....
Well ... in that case ... people around your CEO (example - your Boss will have to be vocal about the fact and let him know informally about the long term Company Culture related damage He (CEO) might cause by not being synchronised to the Company Policy.
He may have a Great Vision ....
but it needs to be in sync with the Company vision !!
I guess your Boss will have to play an instrumental role in the change you wish to see in your CEO !!
All the Best !!

Dear Anu :roll:

Sub: Return on the Time Spent by Myself :D , Rajat Joshi :) , Rajanish Borah :D , Atom Leaf :) , ShoOOonya :wink: , Ranjan :D - Reg

How are you. Hope by this time you have completed your probation with that start up company and settled in the job.

We appreciate if you could respond (since you have completed one year of service) to the following statements you made at the early days of your career:

1.) I have started getting very uneasy feeling about the Business Plans of the Management

2.) My CEO is not competent in the previous companies he worked for.

3.) I could see that my CEO took wrong decisions and the business procurement delay for almost 1.5 months.

4.) He is senior and nice guy but lack business mind and leadership qualities, gets very tensed very soon.

5.) CEO thinks I’m very assertive, aggressive by nature and lack proactive ness, which my CEO has not spoken to me directly about. I have adjusted myself to be compatible with working, but still my CEO is not happy. There is lot of uncomfortable feeling while working from both the side.

6.) I feel very demoralized due to this. Should I stay on for 6 month to one years in the company

and

What were your learnings in the past one year (learning from Mistakes) (learning by observing) (learning by doing) etc.,

Awaiting your response

Regards
