Are you leading the Rhythm of Business? If not, you should be.
In fact, it's one of the first things you should do in your role.
Every strategic right-hand to a leader, including Executive Assistants, Chiefs of Staff, and strategic operators working with executives, should be helping own, lead, and continually improve their leader's Rhythm of Business (RoB).
An executive's world of priorities, meetings, direct reports, and deliverables is constantly shifting.
Your job is to help ensure their time shifts with them.
That's where a well-designed Rhythm of Business becomes one of the highest-leverage tools a strategic operator can own.
Why? Because once the Rhythm of Business is documented and visualized, opportunities become easier to identify. You'll be able to evaluate:
- Whether executive time reflects organizational priorities.
- Where critical decisions are actually happening.
- What's missing from the current operating rhythm.
- Where changes could create greater impact.
Leading the Rhythm of Business is about more than documenting meetings. It’s about learning to see executive time strategically and turning what you see into thoughtful recommendations that strengthen your impact as a trusted strategic partner.
Taught by Maggie Olson, former Chief of Staff to a Fortune 40 President and Founder of Nova Chief of Staff, this masterclass builds on the same practical approach that has helped more than 2,000 strategic operators across 45 countries and 1,500+ organizations strengthen their executive partnership and strategic impact.
