"At Fortune's Most Powerful Women summit last month, he said he expects full attention from everyone in the room. "If you have an iPad in front of me and it looks like you're reading your email or getting notifications, I tell you to close the damn thing," he told Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell. It's disrespectful."
"He argued that it would be "weird" for a tech company to tell its employees not to use their technology-especially in larger meetings where devices can be a useful tool rather than a distraction. "I distinguish between one-to-10-person meetings and very large meetings. If it's a very large meeting, I'm sorry. It's not really a meeting. It's a communication vehicle. You're just informing people," Krishna told last week."
Jamie Dimon insists on undivided attention in meetings, admonishing people to close devices he views as disrespectful and time-wasting. IBM CEO Arvind Krishna distinguishes meeting sizes, saying forbidding technology in large informational sessions would be "weird" because devices can be useful, while small, intimate meetings demand full attention. Dimon has repeatedly urged employees to schedule fewer, more purposeful meetings and avoid distractions from notifications and personal texts. Krishna emphasizes practicality for large gatherings but would ask distracted attendees in small meetings to return later.
