You hear something while walking down the hall or are copied on an email and know something about the purpose of a meeting coming up. Many times I am so thankful I had that quick chat or read that email that I was copied on as that was the exact information I needed when they were away. (for 411 Look Up 411.ca

Depending on the importance of the impromptu meeting, it may need to be changed to another timeslot to accommodate his or her calendar. If you have to reschedule, send an email apologizing, but advise that your bosss schedule has changed. Usually when I point out the conflict to my boss, he is more than willing to make the change.

Some of the younger bosses are certainly qualified and know how to do some things administratively, but is it an efficient use of their time and is it good job security for us?
