Mack: I don’t have one. Trudy: No I have your one here. Mack: Why wasn’t I emailed the agenda? Trudy: I just thought I’d bring it for you. Mack: But I see you have me speaking to the Tax Imputation Project as item two, I needed to prepare for that. Trudy: Surely you know that project well enough to speak about it without notes. Mack: I don’t like to be put on the spot. Trudy: Well, shall we have Dion speak about the material, I am sure he is prepared. Other participants are looking at the floor. Mack: No I’ll do it. Trudy: See that wasn’t so hard was it? I would like Dion to speak to point 8 though because he is able to communicate things so succinctly. Mack: But…. Trudy: What? Mack: Oh, it doesn’t matter. How the whole scenario could have been handled better and what should have been done by the staff members involved and the HR manager.

There could have been intervention made by me and the other team members about explaining to Trudy that every employee must be informed from beforehand. This is because there can be lack of preparedness of the employee if the employee does not know about the topic to speak about in the meeting. Moreover, the agenda of the meeting is extremely important for every team member to know about from beforehand. When Trudy had accepted about not sending the information about the change of the room for the meeting to Mack, there should have been apologizing to Mack by Trudy.
