00:00:00.000 Jamie Dimon says business leaders are sloppy as hell at communications.
00:00:03.160 This is a Forbes story.
00:00:04.660 He told an audience that most executives are terrible at two skills that matters the most,
00:00:09.560 communication and leadership.
00:00:10.860 His verdict on the business writing was blunt.
00:00:14.500 Leaders send memos and decks that are sloppy as hell,
00:00:17.700 burying the point under jargon, and then wonder why nobody executes.
00:00:22.040 Dimon's argument is that communication is not a soft skill bolted onto the real job.
00:00:26.560 It is the job.
00:00:27.600 If people cannot understand what you want, nothing else matters.
00:00:31.200 He pushes brevity, says the say the thing plainly, say it early, cut the throat clearing on leadership.
00:00:38.820 He is equally direct.
00:00:40.000 Too many bosses managed by abdication, hiding behind processes and consensus instead of making a call and owning it.
00:00:46.880 The best leaders are ready, visible, decisive and willing to be disliked for a decision they believe in.
00:00:54.880 How powerful of a breakdown is this, Tom?
00:00:56.960 This is incredibly powerful. And this is coming from the same guy that absolutely went off on work from home about six months ago.
00:01:04.020 Remember this? Somebody recorded it. He says, you're sitting there. You're not as effective.
00:01:08.540 You're not doing this and you're not paying attention and you're on your phones.
00:01:12.020 And he's there. And what he's talking about here is basically human leadership.
00:01:16.520 And I love the point here, burying the point under jargon and then wonder why nobody executes.
00:01:22.600 It says, I push this right now.
00:01:25.080 I push this at our company right now at times.
00:01:27.800 Not all the time.
00:01:28.720 Fortunately, we've got some great people here.
00:01:30.640 But it's like communication is not a soft skill.
00:01:33.800 It is the skill.
00:01:35.480 What will you do and when will you do it?
00:01:38.200 And next week, did you do that?
00:01:40.660 That accountability loop, nobody seems to like.
00:01:43.420 And people don't.
00:01:44.340 And there is another story in here as well, Pat, if we could go to it,
00:01:49.620 about what businesses expect of young people.
00:01:54.060 Let's look at those four things, and then I've got something up there.
00:01:56.920 I know you know what I'm holding.
00:01:58.260 Yeah, go for it.
00:01:58.660 So the four things that they're talking about that people want in college graduates
00:02:03.780 and the people is like good businesses that are hiring,
00:02:07.700 what they're asking for, and they say,
00:02:09.200 look, we think you need to have four simple skills.
00:02:13.440 Sound judgment.
00:02:15.320 Resilience.
00:02:15.880 In other words, if your judgment is wrong, come back and keep trying.
00:02:19.240 Communication.
00:02:20.020 Oh, there's what Jamie Dimon's talking about.
00:02:22.140 And collaboration.
00:02:23.280 No Lone Rangers.
00:02:24.460 Work as a team.
00:02:25.660 And when you take a look at the things here, we have, and I highlighted them here, this is our culture book.
00:02:30.440 And one of them was Recover from Setbacks.
00:02:32.560 Go ahead, Tom.
00:02:33.020 Yep.
00:02:33.480 This is our culture book.
00:02:34.580 Our culture book, you can get this at vt.com.
00:02:37.200 And people see it because they say, well, you've synthesized the things we should be talking about.
00:02:41.300 And we look for seven qualities among our best associates.
00:02:46.540 Research, hunger, desire, competitiveness, hitting deadlines, an obsession with personal development, curiosity.
00:02:55.200 And we don't want you to be a lone ranger, and we want you to be part of the one club.
00:02:59.180 Do what you say.
00:03:00.260 And take a look at this and what Jamie Dimon is saying.
00:03:03.080 Guess what?
00:03:03.580 In an age of AI, humans that can communicate well, lead well, lead with clarity, get the job done, and work with the team to lead them to get the job done are valuable.
00:03:14.600 Pat, I'm so shocked.
00:03:16.020 Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and investment advice.
00:03:21.000 I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community.
00:03:24.140 Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime.
00:03:28.500 I wonder if my out-of-office has a forever setting.

00:03:42.200 Find your advisor at IGPrivateWealth.com.
00:03:46.020 Yeah, no, this is a very simple breakdown that when you see something like this, again, the words, visible, decisive, and willing to be disliked for a decision they believe in.
00:03:58.820 Last Friday, before we finished today and we go to a photo shoot with the family, we had the seventh CEO of Disney come here, Bob Chapek, and he did the first podcast.
00:04:08.360 It was a two-and-a-half, three-hour podcast for his recent book that's coming out.
00:04:11.780 The interview goes live tomorrow.
00:04:13.840 Let me tell you, this conversation we had of what happened with them,
00:04:18.360 I'll let you watch it, but based on what was talked about,
00:04:22.700 there were moments that Bob Iger knew Bob Chapek was going to be fired
00:04:27.540 when he became the CEO of Disney, that he set him up for COVID.
00:04:32.320 And he talks about Bob Iger's style of leadership
00:04:34.840 versus how other people are at.
00:04:37.480 So these types of stories, this book is coming out September 29th,
00:04:41.380 The interview, we drop it tomorrow, the 29th.
00:04:45.120 Whether you're an executive, whether you're a businessman,
00:04:47.920 whether you're a fan of Disney, whether you want to know what happened in there,
00:04:51.580 I asked him the question about LGBTQ,
00:04:53.440 and we showed a chart of how many LGBTQ members they've had in movies and cartoons
00:04:58.460 and how to stock it.
00:04:59.980 I showed the chart right in front of him.
00:05:01.640 Our team did a great job putting that together,
00:05:03.400 and he had to give an answer to it.
00:05:05.100 And we spent quite a lot of time on that topic alone.
00:05:07.560 But with leadership, it's very simple.
00:05:09.200 This is why Jamie Dimon is respected the way that he is.
00:05:11.700 Visible, decisive, and willing to be disliked for a decision they believe in.
00:05:15.040 It's not an easy thing to do.
00:05:17.060 By the way, a part of that could be who?
00:05:18.940 A part of that could be Trump.
00:05:20.020 He's visible.
00:05:21.160 Nobody in the head.
00:05:21.920 The other day is like, well, you know, you are in a Sarah Huckabee comes out and says,
00:05:26.040 what are you talking about?
00:05:27.220 Your previous president wouldn't even come to these press conferences.
00:05:29.800 He's the most available president to the press there's ever been.
00:05:32.900 He's visible.
00:05:33.520 He's decisive.
00:05:34.460 And he's willing to be disliked for a decision they believe in.
00:05:36.880 It's not an easy place to be.
00:05:38.200 But I like what Jamie Dimon says about this when it comes down to leadership.
00:05:42.660 This weekend, guys in the back, if you have the picture that Alicia gave to you with me and Brooklyn,
