Marco has invited eight people to his meeting. At the appointed meeting start time, only six of the people have arrived. What should Marco do?
Explanation
Answer: A - Marco should start the meeting on time. If the two remaining participants arrive late, they can catch up with where the meeting is at that point.
Key Takeaway: Proper meeting etiquette dictates that all meetings should start on time. If a meeting is delayed for only one or two individuals, it is unfair to those who made the effort to show up on time. Additionally, it sets a precedent that all meetings will begin late. If a key meeting participant is late for the meeting, take the time after the meeting to review any missed information with that participant. If this is not possible, schedule a separate meeting to ensure that the key participant receives the information that is required.
