I'd say it's like half meetings. and the other half is prepping for meetings. In office and out of office too, dinner, golf, etc. Small meetings like with the other C positions, mid level mgt, to large meetings like conferences. Pretty much from mid-size company and up, it's all just meetings. And when shit hits the fan, they get to decide on which shit tastes better.

Types of meetings change too. Like if you want more cash, which companies usually do, you're on constant hunt for investment meetings and networking. And generally the entire time, various companies will try to approach your company (or you) to setup a meeting so they can say how wonderfully helpful their company is for your company. Sometimes you agree to those meetings and sometimes you don't. Again, even as a mid sized company, you likely get enough requests for meetings that you literally can't book all of them. So you get more C levels to delegate some of those meetings for you and then you have meetings with your C levels. And as you grow, you try to weed out less important ones. And you do that through... networking.

Everything kinda keeps looping back to networking.

Imagine you're playing CK3 or any grand strategy 4X game. Networking is like allies. You can just get whole bunch of allies to attacc other kingdoms even if you're weak. That's the power of networking. And every click of a button to do something is like a meeting. You want to build a fort? In CK3, click. In IRL, meeting.
