CEO of JPMorgan Chase
As leader of the world's largest bank, this one-time presidential hopeful might've had a chance — if people actually liked him. But beneath his calm facade is just a vicious and unprincipled banker who will flip flop in any which direction to get his way. That's not to say that I dislike him, we are very different, but I respect any titan of industry and know that I need people like him just as much as they need us. But to be President of the United States takes a noble and determined quality that he just doesn't have. Nevertheless, there are still things to be learned from him.

Always get the right people in the room. If you’re designing a system, have the people who are going to use the system there.
Have real humility… humility is a deep acknowledgement that we got here by the dint of sometimes where we were born, who our parents were. It wasn’t all our genius and brains.
Paraphrased or inexact quote: show me the good, the bad and the ugly, we can take it; get it all out there and then we’ll deal with it.
