There are a handful of recurring, company-wide activities that influence how everyone spends their time, including board meetings, business reviews, goals, budgeting, headcount planning, and performance reviews.Good sequencing saves time. One of the things that pains me the most is when I see startups invest weeks of energy prepping for their Board meetings. While Board meetings can be invaluable, it simply should not take weeks to build materials for a meeting that is primarily for your benefit. If you plan out your monthly financials close and your business reviews so that they happen 2+ weeks before your Board meeting, then you should be able to repurpose materials and really reduce Board prep time.
Just "borrowed" this. Thank you!
That's what it's there for!
