June 26, 2007Conference Conflicts

Filed under: Success Story by merylrunion |

We require groups to reserve conference rooms, but some people don’t honor that. Recently a coworker has been using the room for her projects, and when the group sees her there, they squeeze into a smaller room. Occasionally we’ve gone to meet and found her project spread out over the table, so we met in another room.

I heard people complain, but instead of complaining, I sought out the young woman. I asked her to observe the schedule and to move her project to a side table when meetings were scheduled. She did.
