Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, outlined what his successor needs to do. The bank named two co-presidents that set up the succession plan.

JPMorgan Chase in June named Doug Petno and Troy Rohrbaugh co-presidents. Petno is CEO of the commercial and investment bank and Rohrbaugh is CEO of consumer and community banking.

Dimon emphasized a strong team that includes Jennifer Piepszak as Chief Operating Officer and Mary Callahan Erdoes, who runs the asset and wealth management unit. "I am fully confident if I was hit by a truck, which is not my preference, we would be fine," said Dimon.

What does it take to be CEO?

Dimon said:

"You want to be good at management, you want to be good at people, you want to be analytical, you want to be detailed, you want to be a culture carrier, you want to be curious, you want to have heart, you want to have grit, you want to have a soul, you want to have work ethic, you want to be able to travel, you want to be able to walk in operating centers and deal with CEOs and Prime Ministers, it's all of that.

I could give you a long list of stuff, but it's all of that. At the end of the day, we're blessed with a lot of people who are great culture carriers across a broad spectrum, no one has all those things in a perfect way. And some of the things you learn and some of those things you get better at. But you know when you see it."
