If You Hate Meeings, Do Not be a CEO

Frustrating though it might be, CEOs of larger organizations spend very little time with customers: about three percent, according to a survey conducted by Harvard Business School professors Michael Porter and Nitin Nohria in 2006. 


About 72 percent of CEO time was spent in meetings.


Broadly speaking, no more than 21 percent of CEO time was spent on anything connected with business strategy. About a quarter of time was spent on function or business unit reviews and another 25 percent on “people and relationships.”


About 16 percent of time dealt with “organization and culture issues.”
