My question is how many are doing that because they are simply copying each other and trying to signal that they are indeed tech execs, how many are simply clueless and how many just don't care
Why isn't there a one except say Masayoshi Son and Mark Zuckerberg who dresses all the way up every now and then? Is it because they care what other people think -- and using the same argument, wouldn't there be a case for over dressing if you care about what people think?
This should be old hat to professionals who specialize in statistics and human behaviour and who understand concepts like the central limit theory, branding and other advanced topics but to a man they all seem to prefer looking like they just got off a private jet and didn't have time to get dressed on the way to the conference and it's getting tired and boring
It seems they want to over-optimize for being 'casual and approachable' and never for being 'authoritative and distant' and then their companies tank and they move onto other companies -- leaving the ordinary people to scrounge for new career prospects in an increasingly cynical job market
