[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When our new Director came on, she too wanted to attend every meeting. And I thought it was a good thing. She sat back and observed for a month. I also think the regular staff loved seeing her at a meeting. She didn't make big changes though. We're already a well functioning organization. She HAS rewritten and reviewed work product from regular program staff. While it's disconcerting, it keeps them on their toes knowing that senior leaders care and are paying attention/reading.

I see no issues whatsoever with a 4pm meeting. Anything before 5 is fair game. 4:30 is the latest I'd personally schedule, but I don't mind meeting with people until 5pm. [/quote]

If your office has set 9-5 hours then a 430 is acceptable. With the advent of flexible schedules and flex time, core hours become that much more important to respect and those core hours are determined usually by the org. If this new director is not following that, she's ruffling feathers. She can either give a X day notice that there are no longer flex hours or she can adhere to the operational style of her current organization.

Its these same people who expect an 8am meeting and a 5pm meeting. Thats not tenable. [/quote]
