The biggest problem in my company has to do with culture, in particdar our different ways of looking at time. People from some countries think it is OK to show up late for a meeting and

some people even don't think they need to come at all! As president of the company, however, it is my responsibility to tell them that this is not acceptable* Whereas in some other countries attending meetings is not considered very important in this country, and especially in this

company meetings must be attended on time. Not being on time causes inefficiency. I spent all night thinking about the exact words that I would use to explain my feelings ? I even wrote my words down. I planned to discuss this problem at the meeting today and entitled my speech 'International Clock lalk'V Unfortunately, I have a problem - no one came to the me 巳ting!
