    If having a particular team member was critical, for the team to be able to obtain useful outcomes to the problem, I would not start the session. If this is not the case I would suggest that the team works on the problem and the missing team member is included only if a follow up session is necessary. My reasoning would be that having a team member come in at a later stage is just as bad as a team member wanting to leave early. It has the same disruptive factor. I have coached a session were a potential team member indicated that they would have to leave early and as he was not critical to the team, I asked him to exclude himself from the session.

    I am sure you'd get better info by smilpy getting on the phone but as far as I know in Quebec they have some of the best health service in the world, so if it is anything like in Europe you just walk into a hospital and get seen..

    I'm guessing the abnset member is not the problem presenter? If so, I'd ask the group first what impact they thought having a tardy member would have on the group's functioning, then second, and based on response to the first question, how they'd like to proceed as a group. If they decide to start without the tardy member and bring them up to speed, I'd ask for a volunteer to do so, but then also take the opportunity for each member to write down their understanding of the problem at that particular point, and use the new arrival as a means of recalibrating the group on both levels.

    Great comments from eoynevre! They all seem right on the money to me. My experience has been that this scenario happens quite frequently. Processing this with the group through the questions already mentioned, such as: How will we deal with situations when a team-member is absent and or joins at a later time?How can we assist an absent team-member to learn what the group did during the missed time? How should we proceed from here? are all excellent. Depending on the make-up of the group (i.e., are they all internal to a particular company?) I also like Cleo's suggestion of asking what emergency means in the organization.If the team made any additional ground rules when their team was formed, and participation was included in those ground rules, it might also be good to revisit those.
