Put into place and oversee operational procedures that help your executive better manage their meetings, team, and workload. Internal operations should be grounded in principles and utilize clear, consistent processes and practices. Checklists and templates for things that happen on a repeat basis are critical for establishing a repeatable, mistake-free way to run things, and can start to become the "playbook" by which the internal operations of the company are run.
