Hey all, i'm the EA for the CEO of our company and the only EA. We have a small Admin team I'm also part of. Our old CAO retired, and a director was raised up to replace him.
The new CAO has started asking me to have a weekly 1:1 check in meeting, which is okay as we often have things to discuss related to the board, governance, company wide things and the admin things I do too. But she has the clunkiest agenda she wants me to fill out with my weekly priorities (which are always assist the CEO!) that works much better for someone who's directly reporting to her. In the actual meetings, we don't touch on these at all and she never addresses them.
Does anyone else have meetings with a manager/supervisor that isn't their exec, and do you have some sort of agenda system that works well? I'd like to suggest something else when I tell her I don't want to use her agenda system anymore.
I did my job just fine for 3 years with no check ins or weekly meetings, so I'm a little annoyed, and someone else ran afoul of her by not respecting her agenda system, so I'm a little wary.
Thanks for your help! I have been looking at templates online but they are all structed for EA and Exec check ins.
