Praise for The House of Dimon "Without the profanity and showmanship, Jamie, within the business world, reminds me most of George S. Patton, America's leading WWll battlefield basic. Both read history, prepared meticulously, and led from the leading—innovatively and instinctively. Both were confrontational. When asked what unit they had offered in during the war, most participants of the Third Army responded proudly and, 'I was with Patton.' Perhaps one day those at JPMorgan will say the same."

Jamie Dimon on…

The Credit Problems
“I think you’re heading to be writing and learning out of this for years: conditions and literature about different things from SIVs to accounting to the business purpose of CDO-squareds to regulatory guidelines to globalization to the balkanization of regulation…. Honestly, I think if you made a list today, you almost certainly wouldn’t get half of these. We’re in the heavy from it.”

Lessons Learned
“Experience and judgment-I don’t think they’re replaceable. You go to a lot of businesses-they don’t bear in mind how bad things can get. It requires anyone who has been there. We won't forget the aftermath of the casing bubble, but 40 years from now, believe me, someone is going to forget again anywhere.”

Coping with the Downside
“Look enabling you to be wrong; say when you’re wrong. If you ask me it’s important to achieve that because I'd like everybody to achieve that, so that people actually make a better decision the next time.”

Buying Carry Stearns
“We weren’t thinking of buying Carry Stearns. We wouldn’t have bought it on its own, but we were asked to look at it. We understood the financial system was extremely sensitive and Lehman [Brothers individual bankruptcy] helped demonstrate that.”

The Carry Stearns Discussions
“The amazing story wasn’t the financial executive. After I acquired the decision from [Carry Stearns CEO] Alan Schwartz, I called [JPMorgan Investment Lender co-CEOs] Steve African american and Bill Winters, and then we had 50 or 100 people get dressed and get back to work. And by 12 time later, there were 500 and 1,000 people focusing on it in every department: relationship trading, equity, collateral derivatives, all these areas-tax, legal, compliance, systems, ops [procedures]-everyone doing their job. And that’s the amazing kind of thing: people behaving that way-just seeking to find it out rapidly. That really allowed us to do [the Carry Stearns package]. And the comfort that whenever we bought the company we could actually manage everything that.”

Risk Disclosure
“In the event that you wouldn’t treat your mother like that, don’t treat the client like that. If this piece of paper tells the client how much risk they’re taking and you don’t want to give it to them, they’re probably taking on too much risk. Provide them with the paper.”

Financial Self-discipline
“You’ve surely got to have disciplined reporting and a disciplined review of [what’s] reported. And it’s surely got to be widely shared with smart people who likewise have experience and judgment. You will lessen problems. You’ll still have them, incidentally, nonetheless they should preferably be smaller and fewer.”

Being Well prepared
“Will have a column called ‘most detrimental ever before’ and be sure you can survive under that.” [College or university of Chicago Graduate University of Business, 2006]

Heading to Work for Sandy Weill
“I visited help Sandy because my goal in life was not to be always a partner in an investment bank, and honestly it wasn’t money. It was to develop something, whatever that meant… The reason why I visited help Sandy is basically because I liked him… “ [Kellogg University of Management, 2002]

Getting Fired by Sandy Weill
“I got the president of Citigroup. I walked in and [Weill] said, ‘I want you to resign,’ and believe me, it was like I got surprised. I didn’t expect it in any way, condition, or form.” [Kellogg University of Management, 2002]

Life after Citigroup
“It damage. But as I tell people…it was my world wide web value, not my self-worth, involved in the company. I didn’t feel less of your person, but all of a sudden you decide to do feel kind of naked out there. You don’t do that thing; you aren’t president of…Citigroup.”

Life Priorities
“My children, my family-but especially the kids I’m in charge of, even though they’re kind of on their own… They’re way up here. Right next compared to that is humanity. Actually, we’re not all here simply for ourselves.”

Relationship and Children
“I really do think that the hardest things to do in life are matrimony and kids. They are like complete secrets until you do it. We educate you on everything, but we don’t educate you on that… You’ve surely got to work [at] those things.” [Kellogg University of Management, 2002]
