Jamie Dimon’s mantra for Gen Z: ‘Learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn, learn’
Fortune: Before he became the most powerful banking chief in America, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon set himself a simple career rule that sounds almost radical in the age of personal branding: Keep your mouth shut.
As a 28‑year‑old Harvard MBA working as an assistant to American Express president Sanford “Sandy” Weill, Dimon wasn’t focused on “being visible” or chiming in at every meeting, but rather soaking everything in.
“My first goal was to learn something and not say anything until I could add some value,” he told Fortune in an early-career profile which has resurfaced on social media.
