    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 definitely agree with all the comments that lead us to trust the team to decide how to handle the absence and re-integration of the team member. Also, I like the questions that focus attention on how we define an emergency as a group. I would also ask some future oriented questions about what our guidelines should be in the future when a crisis pulls a team member away. What norms will the team agree to with regard to cancellations? Would it be appropriate for the missing person to send an appointed replacement for one session? How does a missing member impact our progress? How will absent members be informed of session outcomes? How can we inform our supervisors about the importance of being fully committed to the Action Learning process? and so on.

    Love Yourself. Stop trying to be soemone you are not. Stop talking about one another and help uplift one another. You can be sexy and look good without looking sleazy. Look in the mirror before you go outside. If you have an doubts you shouldn't wear the cloths or a bunch of makeup. Learn to dress. Stop going to your college class looking like you just left the club or strip club. Learn to dress for an interview the right way. Listen and learn.

    Good answers. We just need to be caurefl not to cross the line into telling them how to fix it. Many folks indicated they would ask how the team would get the late comer caught up. I've worked with teams that they realized the team member was not a vital part of the team and ask them to step off the team. I've worked with other teams that they have decided that the person could listen quietly until they caught up on their own. And I've worked with other teams where the decided a 5 minute recap would be good for the entire team. Each team needs to determine what will work best for them.As coach my questions would be: We have a team member that will be 2 hours late what is the impact on the team? How do we want to handle it? Based on what they say my next question would be something along the lines How will you make that happen? Happy CoachingBea
