Weeks after Donald Trump's first shock election win, bosses from across corporate America were scrambling to enter the president's orbit. Business leaders ranging from the General Motors boss, Mary Barra, to Disney's chief, Bob Iger, quickly signed up to a new advisory council in 2016 to help shape the aggressively pro-growth policies of this new populist politician. Among them was the head of America's largest bank: Jamie Dimon, the chair and chief executive of JP Morgan.

Bet on Winners: Dimon helps people who've earned his respect and trust, whether it's hiring people like Miller at multiple companies or advising Duckett during her inaugural year as CEO of TIAA. That instinct isn't limited to women: Wells Fargo's Charlie Scharf comes to mind. Dimon says he's guided by performance, not gender or loyalty. To do otherwise, in his view, is a disservice to the team.

JPMorgan's CEO Jamie Dimon emphasized the need for education to address the skills gap in corporate America during the Business Roundtable CEO Workplace Forum.

JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon criticized private equity's recruitment of junior bankers, prompting Apollo and General Atlantic to announce they will cease this practice for new hires.

"As always, we hope for the best but prepare the firm for a wide range of scenarios," Dimon said, underlining his concern about the direction of the US economy.
