People don't understand executive calendars.
I describe an executive's calendar as like a strobe light going off.
You wake up at 8AM, you've already got a huge list of urgent things going on.
You go from a meeting with finance on a budget, to an interview for another executive, to a people problem, to a legal problem, to a product review.
And the product manager coming to that product review, who's trying to make a pitch thinks I've been prepping for this meeting for two weeks.
But the executive coming into that session hasn't thought about you since.
