Meeting can be good or bad

During my working days in a five star hotel, as a department head we had to attend once a week meeting but whenever a meeting was called we were try ourself to give excuses not to attened the meeting as we find meeting is a waste of time and beside we do not like to offend some of our excutives and more seniors staff.

One day we had a change in management as a new general manager is conducting the meeting and the meeting became very compulsary with no excuses given unless it is a urgent matters. We learned very much from his meeting. Every minutes to a meeting was discussed and every dept had to talked about their progress and problem and also to share ideals about improvement. With the new manager time was very puncture in the meeting with the starting and ending time. Every agenda was discussed and praised was given.
