I am not exactly sure what it is, but punctuality has become a lost art. I have spent many a meeting sitting in a room by myself waiting for the rest of the attendees to arrive. I really started thinking about this topic when my clients thanked me for being on time to meetings and engagements. Isn’t showing up on time a basic agreement and REQUIREMENT in business!? This is difficult to say, but tardiness is rampant in the public sector and nonprofit world. Surprised? Did this statement shock and awe? We always joke about being on "government time," but why is that the accepted norm?
