""I don't have it in front of me all the time, if you send me a text during the day, I probably do not read it," he said. "I don't have notifications, the only notifications I get is from my kids, that's it. When they text me I get that.""
""People don't call me on the phone that much, they tend to call my office ... when I'm walking around and going to meetings I don't have it on me, it's in my office. If you need me and it's important, call my office and they'll come get me," Dimon continued."
""None of this nodding off, none of this reading my mail," Dimon told to Fortune's Alyson Shontell. "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. It's disrespectful.""
Jamie Dimon rarely carries his mobile phone during the workday and typically does not read texts or emails while in meetings or appointments. Only immediate family members trigger notifications on his device, with his children as the sole exception. Colleagues and contacts are instructed to call his office for urgent matters, and his phone is kept in his office when he is mobile. Dimon emphasizes pre-reading for meetings and strict, in-person focus, instructing people to close devices that appear to be used for email or notifications. He views device distraction as disrespectful and will move on if focus lapses.
