Episode Synopsis
The Four Mandatory Meetings You Should Be Having as a Second-In-Command
In this episode of The Right-Hand Roadmap, we dive into the four must-have meetings every Second-In-Command of a founder-led company should be scheduling. Megan Long explains how these meetings not only drive company success but also strengthen your role as a COO.
These meetings aren’t just about ticking boxes—they're about fostering alignment, driving strategic initiatives, and building strong relationships across the leadership team. From weekly one-on-ones with your CEO to quarterly planning sessions with your entire leadership team, each meeting plays a pivotal role in your success. We also explore the value of skip-level meetings, offering you a way to stay connected with all levels of your organization and truly understand the pulse of your company.
You'll hear all about:
00:55 - Meeting #1: Weekly one-on-ones with the CEO or founder; recommended structure and agenda.
04:35 - Meeting #2: Monthly same page meetings; fostering alignment and strategic planning.
05:52 - Meeting #3: Weekly one-on-ones with direct reports; building rapport and ensuring accountability.
08:07 - Meeting #4: Quarterly planning meetings; setting the strategic direction for the company.
09:32 - Bonus: The value of skip-level meetings for maintaining company culture and transparency.
