The Four Mandatory Meetings You Should Be Having as a Second-In-Command

In this episode of The Right-Hand Roadmap, we dive into the four must-have meetings every Second-In-Command of a founder-led company should be scheduling. Megan Long explains how these meetings not only drive company success but also strengthen your role as a COO.


These meetings aren’t just about ticking boxes—they're about fostering alignment, driving strategic initiatives, and building strong relationships across the leadership team. From weekly one-on-ones with your CEO to quarterly planning sessions with your entire leadership team, each meeting plays a pivotal role in your success.
