Jamie Dimon says the best teams work like Navy SEALs, not sprawling 'flat' corporations | Fortune
"The teams needed to tackle [specific problems] should be small and authorized with the decision-making ability to move and act like Navy SEALs or the Army's Delta Force. This is trench warfare; it's about fighting for every inch, moving quickly and getting things done."
"Very often when a management team wants to accomplish something new... everyone on the team says, 'We'll get it done,' meaning they will add it to the long list of tasks already on their plate."
"You need a team 100% dedicated to the mission-and everyone else supports them."
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon emphasizes the importance of small, agile teams in corporate management. He compares these teams to military special forces, advocating for their ability to make quick decisions and take ownership of tasks. Dimon argues that larger teams dilute accountability, leading to inefficiency. He believes that smaller teams, focused solely on their mission, can achieve better results. This approach contrasts with the flat management model adopted by companies like Meta, which has implemented high worker-to-manager ratios, potentially compromising effectiveness.
