Many founders say they dislike meetings.
What they dislike are unstructured meetings.
High-multiple companies run disciplined leadership meetings every week.
Same agenda.
Same cadence.
Same accountability.
Typically ninety minutes.
Those ninety minutes matter more than most realize.
A strong weekly meeting includes:
- Review of scorecard metrics
- Progress on quarterly objectives
- Clear accountability for commitments
- Structured problem-solving
- Defined next actions
Buyers want to know the leadership team will continue solving problems after you leave.
If meetings are informal, issues linger, and decisions depend on you, transferability decreases.
Structured governance increases confidence.
Confidence expands multiples.
Ask yourself:
If you stepped out of the room permanently, would your leadership team continue functioning effectively every week?
If not, that is not a criticism.
It is a lever.
Institutional rhythm is a multiple driver.

Structure reduces risk.
