How do executives stay organized? What are their management
strategies? And what do they do for fun? Executive Suite seeks answers
to the behind-the-scenes questions. (Edited excerpts follow.)
Scott Griffith
Age: 53
CEO and Chairman, Zipcar Inc.
CEO since February 2003
WSJ: What’s your daily schedule like?
Griffith: I’m up almost every day about a quarter to
six. I sometimes do a workout at home. I always check email about 18
times before I even get to the office. I’m very well-scheduled now,
usually in half-hour or one-hour increments, so [there’s] very little
in-between time. If I’m in the office, I’ll have some business meetings,
or press interviews or talk to investors. It’s hard to find quality
time to really think strategically about the company and some of our
bigger challenges and ideas, so you have to force that into the
schedule. So I have a hard hold on Friday afternoons: From 1:30 p.m.
until I go home, there is absolutely no way you could schedule time on
my calendar.
