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.
