Unfortunately, that is one of the results of climbing the ranks and taking on more duties. Your superiors will expect you to help in the planning of strategy, defense, and offense. Unfortunately, this occurs in meetings.
When I was at my 'highest' rank, citing 15 minions in my department and 5 overseas operatives, I was in meetings a good 6-8 hours a day. And, there were meetings about meetings.
I barely got any of my own scheming & planning done, and some of my day-to-day skills became slightly rusty. :-(
My own superior was in meetings all-day, and required status reports from his underlings so he could turn in his status reports to his superiors.
And, in many large clans, it is the same. My last few positions were of the same ilk because of my duties and responsibilities within the organization.
The only time I do not need to spend so much time in meetings is as simply a warrior amoung many reporting to a superior officer and as a for-hire mercenary entering a clan for a temporary time frame to get work done that none of their own warriors can accomplish.
