#93: Bill Harrison, JPMorgan Chase Former Chairman & CEO—Preparing the Next Leader

Have you ever worked for somebody who’s taken you under their wing and believed in you enough to pave the way for you to take his or her job? 

Let me tell you, throughout my career, I’ve had the great fortune of this happening to me multiple times. 

But here’s the sad thing, I don’t think this is all too common of a story. Too many leaders have a “you work for me” mentality and the last thing they want is for you to take their job. So they actually hold you back.

So what do we do about this?

Well, we can learn to be the kind of leader who can identify top talent and do whatever is required to help them succeed in their careers, so that they’re prepared to take your job or another another job like it.

On this week’s episode, you’re going to learn how to do this from one of the all-time greats. Bill Harrison is an example to follow in how he prepared the next leader of JPMorganChase (Jamie Dimon).
