In my experience, scheduling conflicts are inevitable, but they can be managed effectively. When faced with a conflict between two high-priority meetings for an executive, I would first evaluate the urgency and importance of each meeting. I would consider factors like deadlines, the attendees involved, and potential consequences of rescheduling one of the meetings.
Once I have a clear understanding of the priorities, I would communicate with the executive to get their input and preferences. Based on their feedback, I would then reach out to the organizers of both meetings to explore possible solutions, such as rescheduling one of the meetings, finding a compromise on time, or identifying an alternative representative to attend one of the meetings on behalf of the executive.
Throughout the process, I would ensure that all parties are kept informed and that any changes are updated promptly in the executive's calendar.
