00:00:00 Jamie Dimon says business leaders are sloppy as hell at communications.
00:00:03 This is a Forbes story.
00:00:04 He told an audience that most executives are terrible at two skills that matters the most,
00:00:09 communication and leadership.
00:00:10 His verdict on the business writing was blunt.
00:00:14 Leaders send memos and decks that are sloppy as hell,
00:00:17 burying the point under jargon, and then wonder why nobody executes.
00:00:22 Dimon's argument is that communication is not a soft skill bolted onto the real job.
00:00:26 It is the job.
00:00:27 If people cannot understand what you want, nothing else matters.
00:00:31 He pushes brevity, says the say the thing plainly, say it early, cut the throat clearing on leadership.
00:00:38 He is equally direct.
00:00:40 Too many bosses managed by abdication, hiding behind processes and consensus instead of making a call and owning it.
00:00:46 The best leaders are ready, visible, decisive and willing to be disliked for a decision they believe in.
00:00:54 How powerful of a breakdown is this, Tom?
00:00:56 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 Remember this? Somebody recorded it. He says, you're sitting there. You're not as effective.
00:01:08 You're not doing this and you're not paying attention and you're on your phones.
00:01:12 And he's there. And what he's talking about here is basically human leadership.
00:01:16 And I love the point here, burying the point under jargon and then wonder why nobody executes.
00:01:22 It says, I push this right now.
00:01:25 I push this at our company right now at times.
00:01:27 Not all the time.
00:01:28 Fortunately, we've got some great people here.
00:01:30 But it's like communication is not a soft skill.
00:01:33 It is the skill.
00:01:35 What will you do and when will you do it?
00:01:38 And next week, did you do that?
00:01:40 That accountability loop, nobody seems to like.
00:01:43 And people don't.
00:01:44 And there is another story in here as well, Pat, if we could go to it,
00:01:49 about what businesses expect of young people.
00:01:54 Let's look at those four things, and then I've got something up there.
00:01:56 I know you know what I'm holding.
00:01:58 Yeah, go for it.
00:01:58 So the four things that they're talking about that people want in college graduates
00:02:03 and the people is like good businesses that are hiring,
00:02:07 what they're asking for, and they say,
00:02:09 look, we think you need to have four simple skills.
00:02:13 Sound judgment.
00:02:15 Resilience.
00:02:15 In other words, if your judgment is wrong, come back and keep trying.
00:02:19 Communication.
00:02:20 Oh, there's what Jamie Dimon's talking about.
00:02:22 And collaboration.
00:02:23 No Lone Rangers.
00:02:24 Work as a team.
00:02:25 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 And one of them was Recover from Setbacks.
00:02:32 Go ahead, Tom.
00:02:33 Yep.
00:02:33 This is our culture book.
00:02:34 Our culture book, you can get this at vt.com.
00:02:37 And people see it because they say, well, you've synthesized the things we should be talking about.
00:02:41 And we look for seven qualities among our best associates.
00:02:46 Research, hunger, desire, competitiveness, hitting deadlines, an obsession with personal development, curiosity.
00:02:55 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 Do what you say.
00:03:00 And take a look at this and what Jamie Dimon is saying.
00:03:03 Guess what?
00:03:03 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 Pat, I'm so shocked.
00:03:16 Okay, when I sell my business, I want the best tax and investment advice.
00:03:21 I want to help my kids, and I want to give back to the community.
00:03:24 Ooh, then it's the vacation of a lifetime.
00:03:28 I wonder if my out-of-office has a forever setting.

00:03:46 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 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 It was a two-and-a-half, three-hour podcast for his recent book that's coming out.
00:04:11 The interview goes live tomorrow.
00:04:13 Let me tell you, this conversation we had of what happened with them,
00:04:18 I'll let you watch it, but based on what was talked about,
00:04:22 there were moments that Bob Iger knew Bob Chapek was going to be fired
00:04:27 when he became the CEO of Disney, that he set him up for COVID.
00:04:32 And he talks about Bob Iger's style of leadership
00:04:34 versus how other people are at.
00:04:37 So these types of stories, this book is coming out September 29th,
00:04:41 The interview, we drop it tomorrow, the 29th.
00:04:45 Whether you're an executive, whether you're a businessman,
00:04:47 whether you're a fan of Disney, whether you want to know what happened in there,
00:04:51 I asked him the question about LGBTQ,
00:04:53 and we showed a chart of how many LGBTQ members they've had in movies and cartoons
00:04:58 and how to stock it.
00:04:59 I showed the chart right in front of him.
00:05:01 Our team did a great job putting that together,
00:05:03 and he had to give an answer to it.
00:05:05 And we spent quite a lot of time on that topic alone.
00:05:07 But with leadership, it's very simple.
00:05:09 This is why Jamie Dimon is respected the way that he is.
00:05:11 Visible, decisive, and willing to be disliked for a decision they believe in.
00:05:15 It's not an easy thing to do.
00:05:17 By the way, a part of that could be who?
00:05:18 A part of that could be Trump.
00:05:20 He's visible.
00:05:21 Nobody in the head.
00:05:21 The other day is like, well, you know, you are in a Sarah Huckabee comes out and says,
00:05:26 what are you talking about?
00:05:27 Your previous president wouldn't even come to these press conferences.
00:05:29 He's the most available president to the press there's ever been.
00:05:32 He's visible.
00:05:33 He's decisive.
00:05:34 And he's willing to be disliked for a decision they believe in.
00:05:36 It's not an easy place to be.
00:05:38 But I like what Jamie Dimon says about this when it comes down to leadership.
00:05:42 This weekend, guys in the back, if you have the picture that Alicia gave to you with me and Brooklyn,
00:05:50 if you have it, do me a favor and put it up.

00:06:36 My entire closet is filled with these white shirts.
00:06:38 But these shoes, you know what we have now?
00:06:41 The latest FLB high-quality hat that just came through.
