Disrespectful.” That’s the word Jamie Dimon, chief executive of JP Morgan, has used to describe his employees’ behaviour in meetings. Why? Because they’re frequently reading personal texts or scanning emails, he noted in his annual letter to shareholders: “I see people in meetings all the time who are getting notifications and personal texts or who are reading emails. This has to stop ... It wastes time.”
Instead, Dimon stressed the need to “make meetings count”, reports The Times, highlighting that he always gives “100 per cent of [his] attention”.
