Should a boss arrive for a staff meeting before or after everyone is seated?

Not intending to judge any perspective though. It is different for bosses and business leaders, the time they might want to arrive a staff meeting they had called. Some bosses prefer to come before the scheduled time while others come after everyone has seated. For me, I arrive latest 5 minutes before the scheduled time. When do you think a boss should arrive for a staff meeting? Before schedule or after everyone is seated?

I would prefer to arrive even before other staff. That is to set a precedent on the need for punctuality. And to give value to the meeting.

Ethics as an employee who will attend a meeting with the boss must of course be present before the meeting starts or the specified time. so the boss does not need to wait for employees to attend, and as a boss will arrive on time to show discipline and seriousness in working.

An idle boss should lead by example, i think being on time should be best, and at the same time, the staffs have to be on time as well.

If I were a boss, I think I would arrive for the meeting before time and make sure that I start the meeting exactly as scheduled.

The typical boss that I am, I always get to my band rehearsals before anyone gets there. I start looking at the things we would be doing before everyone turns up.

it is ideal to come a few minutes early to the meeting, to field questions from team members or socialize a bit so arrive early ...

It is necessary to come earlier at least to set example. Employees tends to follow the footprints of the employer. If the employer use to be punctual, it is likely that the staffs will try to meet up with time.

As a leader you should serve So you give a better service. You do this by leading by example. Arrive early always

In my country the bosses are the last persons to arrive at the meetings especially when all the people are already seated there.

It is a shame for an employee who comes late during a meeting. The usual procedure is for the employees to be already seated before the boss speaks. Those who are late will be seated at the far end. They will have a thick face if cross the line.

If I were the boss, I will arrive earlier to set as an example for the staff.

This is still not bad as it shows respect as the subordinates are already seated and waiting for their superior
