Jamie Dimon and Accountability

So many of you by now have heard the Jamie Dimon comments and while there'll be many different perspectives about them, the biggest problem that I have with it from a business leader perspective is that it lacks accountability. And ultimately if you feel like, you know, if you feel like and you can objectively tell through data that you have undisciplined or unmotivated employees or people not living the core values, you know, doing things that are consistent with them on a day-to-day basis, that's on you as the CEO and the leadership team of the organization to change that outcome. It It does you no good to complain about them because ultimately at the end of the day, you're responsible for the hiring, for putting in place the coaching system, for putting in place the evaluation system that is designed to create A players. And when you talk about work from home not working, that is strictly a non-A player problem.

It's just like what you face in the office. And what you find is if you hire correctly, you coach correctly, you evaluate correctly, you can create a team of A players and their productivity outside the office I have clients that are work from home, I have clients that are, you know, it's hybrid. Doesn't matter if they're A players, you get the same behavior and output outside the home as you do in the home. What it always tells me when I hear things like this or I hear CEOs, you know, with an outburst and complaining about that, ultimately just comes back to, hey, it's on you.

If you want to change the talent of the organization, it does you no good to spend any time complaining, you got to fix it.
