The house of Dimon: how JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon rose to the top of the financial world

Jamie Dimon is Wall Streets biggest player. Following the 11th hour rescue ofBear Stearns by JP Morgan, Dimons profile has gone stratospheric. The House of Dimon will go behind the scenes to recount the amazing events that have shaped Dimons career, including: his rise to prominence as Sandy Weills protégé only to be fired and denied the top spot at Citigroup; his orchestration of the deal whereby JP Morgan acquired BankOne and Dimon emerged as the CEO of JP Morgan; and the drama surrounding the deal to purchase Bear Stearns, which perhaps prevented a worldwide financial crisis. The book will discuss Dimons management approach and how he has consistently been able to integrate acquired companies; reorganize underperforming units; create efficiencies; and grow bottom-line results. Through interviews with people who worked with or for Dimon, the book explains Dimons personal management style, revealing how he interacts andmotivates employees. Most importantly, the book will explain Dimon in the context of contemporary Wall Street. In an environment that has destroyed severaltop CEOs, Dimon has flourished by avoiding alluring but potentially catastrophic risks and taking advantage of strategic opportunities. Finally, the book will explore what lies ahead for Dimon, as he attempts to integrate Bear Stearns and continues to grow JP Morgan in the face of the unrelenting pressures of Wall Street.
