Question: How does rescheduling help an employee?

(it's for my Management course, Organizational Behavior)

Answer:

It helps if either you or the employee have committments that prevent you from keeping a meeting or appointment, committments that are more urgent or important. It does not help if you constantly reschedule a meeting because you don't want to do it or because it has to deal with a difficult issue, however it may help the employee if they have other issues that they need to deal with in order to prepare/schedule the meeting.

Of course, having experience of real life management I've only ever met 1 or 2 managers in my life who actually helped the people under them.

rescheduling doesn't really help, it just says that you don't have allot of time to complete whatever it is that needs to be done at that moment. it just shows that you don't have good time management skills.
