[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are they actually strolling in then or like you would an extra 15 minutes be helpful to them. Take a poll and see if 8:45 would work then make it mandatory to be there at 8:45. [/quote]

I wish I could do this, but they are all teachers and have to be in their classrooms by 9:00 to start the day.  When I brought up the aftrnoon meeting, there were a lot of moans and groans in the room.  I get that I can't make everyone happy.  I still have to hold this meeting.  [/quote]

Ok the more info is important. What are you presenting and is it mandatory that they receive it? What time do they normally arrive?

I don't think a meeting once a month at 8:30 is extreme so I am wondering what is making them late. True inability to arrive by 8:30 or lack of interest in the meeting? [/quote]f

It is very important info...mostly procedure and policy changes.  I really think they are late because they can get away with it.  Like I said, I don't have that much power.  I am trying to come up with something positive and trying to stay away from punitive....only to be used as a last resort.[/quote]

People do what the leadership does. it really is that simple.

I work at large financial corporation where managers are constantly late.  It flows from the top, I have seen my manager get dragged into meetings at last minute, then she is late/cancels her meetings.  When everything is a firedrill no one is on time.

But the best was we had a new director that was never around.  Lived remotely and rarely interacted with his group of 40 something people.  Corporate leadership had a push to change culture and get people to show up on time at meetings.   Of course the next all hands this guy had, he was 15 minutes late to his own meeting, and then had to announce that he was on the committee assigned to think up ideas on how to get people to show up to meetings on time.   40 of us were sitting in conference room , waiting and waiting for this guy to show up late to his own meeting.  of course god forbid if we were ever late to a meeting his was on time to.

if I didn't work there I would laugh, but since I am still there I am sad about this.  so many idiots are in charge at large corporations.[/quote]
