Avoiding Meetings???

I was wondering why some people are very eager to arrange for a meeting to discuss on outstanding issues, postpone it twice then chicken out when the actual meeting date comes.

I tried to explain all the pros and cons of postponing the meeting again, yet all I can get is another person sent for the meeting unprepared! Asking for reasons yielded nothing, but unacceptable reason as unavailable.

There are only few valid reasons that I can think of why the person did so: the person is irresponsible, don't know anything on the subject matter or avoid losing face.

Whatever the real reason, bottom line is that the other party expecting in the meeting will be disappointed and will lose faith of the party in question.

Lesson: Do your homework.
