The «Ӱҵ Report: Should America Be Run Like JPMorgan?

In a searing , JPMorgan Chase Chairman and CEO Jamie Dimon laid bare the challenges facing the country but also offered a persuasive leadership vision for meeting them. If the way Dimon has built JPMC is anything to go by, it could be a powerful template for a more just society. Our newly-released case study of JPMC’s leading workforce policies and practices, captured in the «Ӱҵ Jobs Scorecard and The Schultz Family Foundation’s , shows why.
Take his belief that “the American Dream is disappearing for many because opportunity is not shared equally”. JPMC has excelled at building pathways to prosperity for people of all backgrounds. Their prioritization of tuition reimbursement, apprenticeship programs, and Emerging Talent Programs, not to mention their Military Pathways Rotational Programs, are prime examples. Just 17% of banks and 26% of the Russell 1000 overall disclose details on such efforts.
What about the importance of “uniting the nation” and “creating opportunity for all”? Well, we know from our polling that Americans in every demographic group identify paying a fair, living wage as their top priority for companies today. Here, JPMC is one of only 2% of Russell 1000 companies we assessed in the «Ӱҵ Jobs Scorecard to disclose a minimum hourly wage of at least $20, which is above MIT’s all-important national living wage estimate for a single working adult of $17.46/hour.
His emphasis on fostering communication and collaboration, particularly those with whom we may not always see eye to eye, also shines through in JPMC’s «Ӱҵ ranking. Their success in – a model for community rehabilitation – was due in part to the diverse coalition of actors brought together to define solutions.
Dimon has built JPMC into a global powerhouse that embodies just leadership, creates value for all their stakeholders and outperforms economically. Might a just leader in the White House do likewise for America?
Be well,
Martin
