After reading the case study on Sandra Templeton, I believe Sandra's main problem is the lack of respect from the fourteen other managers and directors. I sense that possibly the other managers are resentful that Sandra was promoted and they were looked over. Sandra's authority will be tested, and attendees showing up late for her meetings are just the beginning of those tests. I feel that Sandra should set meeting ground rules immediately and make …showed first 75 words of 298 total…

…showed last 75 words of 298 total…having to adjust to being back at work from the weekend and the time of 2pm is not a good time, in my opinion, because after lunch people are tired and looking forward to 5pm. With a morning meeting, Sandra could provide just enough donuts to those that arrive early. It is good that Sandra has the meeting at the same time each week as this will allow attendees to mentally prepare for the meetings.
