Are 8AM meetings ever OK? Team works across two time zones, and sometimes things come up, but I feel that before and after hours calls are becoming a habit. How do you nip this in the bud?

I have 8am meetings regularly. But I also have 6am and 7am meetings at least two days a week also. Not really my preference, that’s for sure.

Is this during a launch or a similar surge, or is this all the time?

Who is scheduling these? If it’s someone above you, grin and bear it unless you know them well and can ask them to chill with the early mornings. If it’s people below you, tell them you’re going to block three mornings a week before 9:30 (or whatever) that they can’t book over. Just set some boundaries for yourself and hold the team to it!

Who's scheduling them and can you influence the decision?

For those of you in healthcare related account management, what is your healthcare background? I am clinical and getting ready to hire a higher level account manager. I am really biased toward people with clinical/in hospital experience because, quite frankly, healthcare is a different beast - lots of hand holding and change management. I don’t want to miss the right person because of my bias, so im wondering how many healthcare related AMs have healthcare/clinical experience… thanks in advance!
