7 things I learned from Jamie Dimon

While building Digit, I had the privilege of meeting with Jamie several times.

While building Digit, I had the privilege of meeting several times with Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorganChase. One of the things I would ask was how he’s stayed at the top of your his over the course or his career. Here are a few behaviors I took away from those conversations:

1. He hates rushing. He tries to organize his day and schedule so he's never rushing between meetings, to make decisions etc...

2. He tries to spend the first few hours of each morning exercising and reading.

3. He doesn't care about being a socialite. He’s at work or he's with his family. You won't find him at a black tie ball.

4. He'll quickly end a meeting if it becomes apparent the participants aren't clear on ground truth of what they're talking about.

5. He expects everyone on his team to followup with agency. If someone has to remind you to follow up, you’ve failed.

6. He despises pre-meeting politic-ing and politic-ing in general, he called this "rope-a-dope". He'll root it out and squash it.

7. He’s straight shooter. He says whats on his mind. You'll always know where he stands on any topic or decision.
