His philosophy suggests that removing such disruptive elements, regardless of their individual contributions, is crucial for fostering a more positive and effective workspace. JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon's leadership philosophy Dimon, known for his direct leadership style, explained that fostering a healthy work environment requires removing disruptive individuals—whether they are employees or clients. "You have to go out of your way to get the best of people, and it's amazing, if you do, what that does — for a country, a university, a company — if you create that environment," Dimon said. "You should fire the a**holes.

AI's success must be measured in economic impact, not benchmarks: Satya Nadella
The true metric of success of artificial intelligence (AI) must be measured in terms of its economic impact and real growth in global gross domestic product (GDP), said Satya Nadella, chief executive, Microsoft. '…the ultimate measure for me always is not some AI benchmark, it is the GDP growth in the real world that means it's the growth in a firm. And that's, I think, where we're seeing absolutely real evidence that this is scaling,' he said in a conversation with Ali Ghodsi, founder and chief executive, Databricks, at the company's annual conference in San Francisco on Thursday. When asked about drawing the line between AI hype versus real value add, Nadella outlined how AI should serve as an amplifier of existing enterprise investments.'If the new technology somehow builds on the investments they've already made and compounds the effects for them, then that is a true value-add.'Nadella reflected on the acceleration in AI development across pre-training, inference, and application maturity over the last two years. 'It's the compounding effects of all the S-curves, right? There is the pre-training S-curve, and then there is now the test time compute S-curve. There is just the application tier getting a more mature S-curve… It's that combination that's been pretty stunning to see,' he said. He also described how human-AI interaction is progressing beyond conversational AI toward operational automation.'We started by saying, wow, I can now have intelligence that I can chat with. Then we said, oh, we can assign tasks to the intelligence, and now we effectively can have digital coworkers.' Nadella emphasised the enterprise-wide usage of AI agents along with tools like GitHub Copilot and Databricks connectors. 'You are now getting to a place where it's become standard issue… every employee inside the enterprise is able to either manage agents, create agents, orchestrate agents in order to create that next level of automation around them.' The two companies announced a multi-year extension of their decade-long partnership for the Azure Databricks cloud platform. Parallelly, Databricks also announced a new product partnership with Google Cloud to make the latest Gemini models available within Databricks' platform to build, deploy, and scale AI agents.
