JP Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon shares two things that change when you become CEO: ‘Nobody to complain to and…'
JP Morgan Chase
CEO
Jamie Dimon
recently offered a blunt perspective on the realities of executive leadership, stating that once you become CEO, 'there is nobody to complain to,' and all decisions rest squarely on your shoulders. In an interview with The Economist, Dimon highlighted two key shifts that occur when an executive ascends to the top role. 'The first one is there is nobody to complain to,' he said. 'The second thing is... there is no tacit approval. It is your decision. It's just different. Heavy is the head that wears the crown.'
Dimon, 69, has led JPMorgan since 2006, making him one of the longest-serving and most influential CEOs in the banking industry. His career began after earning an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1982. He turned down offers from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to join his mentor, Sandy Weill, at American Express.
JP Morgan Chase CEO on his succession plans
At the company's annual investor day this week, CEO Jamie Dimon emphasized that the bank has built a 'very deep bench' of potential leaders. While confirming that the board is actively 'thinking about succession', Dimon stopped short of naming any specific candidates.

"If I'm here for four more years and maybe two more or three, executive chair or chairman, that's a long time,' he remarked.
In a recent news, Dimon defended the company's return to office (
RTO
) mandate. In an interview with Bloomberg Television recently, Dimon said 'I think our employees will be happier over time' He further added 'And the younger people learn the right way, it is an apprenticeship system and you can't learn working from your basement.'
JPMorgan, like many major companies, has pushed for a return to office after the pandemic, requiring most employees to work from the office several days a week. Speaking at JPMorgan's annual Global Markets Conference in Paris, Dimon said '"I completely applaud your right to not want to go to the office every day. But you're not going to tell JPMorgan what to do."

Elon Musk warns Donald Trump's tariffs could trigger recession by late 2025
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has issued a strong warning that US President Donald Trump's proposed aggressive tariffs could push the country into a recession by late 2025. In a post on X, Musk stated, 'The Trump tariffs will cause a recession,' signalling a dramatic shift from his earlier support for Trump. The hostilities began when Trump criticised Tesla CEO Musk in the Oval Office. Within hours, the once-close relationship had disintegrated in full public view, as the world's most powerful man and its richest launched personal barbs at one another on Trump's Truth Social and Musk's X. 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,' Trump posted on Truth Social, as reported by AP. Trump said Musk's opposition to the bill was rooted in a provision that would scale back electric vehicle tax credits that benefited Tesla. 'Elon was 'wearing thin,' I asked him to leave, I took away his EV Mandate that forced everyone to buy Electric Cars that nobody else wanted (that he knew for months I was going to do!), and he just went CRAZY!,' Trump posted. Musk floated the idea of creating a new political party 'that actually represents the 80% in the middle.' Musk denied that motivation in a post on X, saying he was fine with reducing the EV credits if lawmakers 'ditch the MOUNTAIN of DISGUSTING PORK in the bill.' After leaving the government, Musk has extensively criticised Trump's proposed Republican legislative package — which Trump has dubbed his 'one big beautiful bill.' Musk argued the plan would worsen the US budget deficit and significantly damage the electric vehicle industry. The Trump tariffs will cause a recession. One key provision in the bill would eliminate the federal tax credit of up to $7,500 for buyers of certain EVs, including Tesla models, by the end of 2025 — seven years earlier than scheduled. Analysts at JPMorgan estimate this move could cut Tesla's annual profit by $1.2 billion. Key Takeaways Musk's warning signals a significant shift in his stance on Trump's policies. Proposed tariffs could severely impact the electric vehicle market and Tesla's profitability. The fallout between Musk and Trump highlights the intersection of politics and industry.
