Overview

Praise for The House of Dimon

"Without the profanity and showmanship, Jamie, within the world of business, reminds me most of George S. Patton, America's premier WWll battlefield general. Both read history, prepared meticulously, and led from the front—innovatively and instinctively. Both were confrontational. When asked what unit they had served in during the war, most members of the Third Army responded proudly and simply, 'I was with Patton.' Perhaps one day those at JPMorgan will say the same."
—Wick Simmons, former CEO of Nasdaq and Prudential Securities

"If you care about what it takes to be a successful CEO in the most complicated market ever, you will want to read The House of Dimon. Patricia Crisafulli has captured the growth and development of one of the most outstanding CEOs of our time."
—Frank Zarb, Managing Director, Hellman & Friedman LLC

"The House of Dimon is a great read, allowing you to observe Dimon's actual strategic actions. He's a leader who doesn't obsess over predicting the future but sets his organization on its toes ready to move in any direction when a problem or opportunity arises. For readers interested in real leadership, it's an action thriller. Dimon walks the talk doing the right thing even when it hurts in the short term."
—William J. White, retired chairman and CEO, Bell & Howell Company; Professor, Engineering and Applied Science, Northwestern University

"Crisafulli has accomplished a major feat: gleaning the lessons-to-be-learned from the life thus far of Jamie Dimon, a man of extraordinary talent, rock-solid philosophy of life, and boundless energy, as well as capturing the essence of many of the financial industry's key personalities, explaining in layman's terms the financial instruments, environment, and events of the last two decades. She has done it all in a fast-paced page-turner. The book illustrates principles we'd all benefit from living by. I wish all my business associates and students read this book."
—Warren L. Batts, Adjunct Professor of Strategic Management, University of Chicago School of Business; former CEO of Tupperware Corp., Premark International, Mead Corp., and Triangle Corp.

"The subtitle of this book could easily be 'How Do You Fit All Jamie Dimon's Accomplishments in One Book' Jamie is an inspiration to all who have the privilege of knowing him or working with him."
—Harvey Mackay, author of the New York Times #1 bestseller Swim With the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive

Editorial Reviews

From Barnes & Noble
JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has been called everything from a "whiz kid" and "Wall Street's biggest player" to "a titan and builder" to "cluelessly arrogant." His up-again-down-again ride to the top inspired New York mayor Michael Bloomberg to compare him to a Shakespearean hero; others have been more enthralled by his hands-on management style and talent spotting. Patricia Crisafulli sorts it out in a book that will allow readers to fantasize about their own Walter Mitty corporate careers.

    The Empty House

    I went into The House of Dimon: How JP Morgan's Jamie Dimon Rose to the Top of the Financial World by Patricia Crisafulli feeling pretty confident based on the reviews that this would be a true biography of Dimon almost to the point of it being an auto-biography because of the unfettered access she had to both Dimon and people around him.

    Instead what the reader finds is at best what one could have read in any of the various news articles on Dimon (i.e.: nothing new).

    Crisafulli jumps straight to Dimons time spent at Harvard without stopping to develop more where he grew up, his experiences of childhood, undergraduate before even getting to Harvard for graduate school. Even then Crisafulli lightly glosses over his time there before plunging headlong into his professional career which in her telling consisted of seemingly a short time-period before his eventual exile from Citi and then assuming the reins at JPMorgan Chase.

    One could get more from the autobiography of Sandy Weil (The Real Deal: My Life in Business and Philanthropy) on Dimon's early life, his time at Citi and then his later exile then one could ever get from Crisafulli telling of the tale. Further, she relies on telling how the skills and experiences he gained early in life prepared him for saving the banking industry ad nausea rather then just mentioning it when the actual action occurs.

    With a short-run through his younger year, a passing glance at his early career and then a plunge head long into saving the banking industry Crisafulli has built less of a House of Dimon and more of an Empty House.

    Jamie Dimon deserves a better book

    Jamie Dimon is clearly the leading banker of his generation. His rise and fall and rise story is a fascinating one, and he deserves a terrific book that tells his story. This is not it. It's almost all done from secondary sources, except for a half dozen interview subjects who crop up on most pages, and the writing is pedestrian. Like all Wiley books, there is no editing at all, so that the erstwhile CEO of Wamu, Kerry Killinger, can repeatedly be called "Killington," as if he were not one of modern bankings leading flim-flam men at all, but a ski resort in Vermont. Skip it.
