Solving Punctuality Problems

Arriving late for meetings is an annoying habit, and it's even worse if everyone else must wait for him because he's a key person in the decision-making process.  Or turns up late at office.  Lateness is bad for team productivity or team morale, and it may point to a wider lack of responsibility.  Sometimes the causes will be obvious.
