If anybody is not able to attend should find out the contents of the meeting from their peers with out fail. But my communication went wrong and out of 12 sub ordinates, only four have attended at 3.00 PM who checked with me the time of the meeting. Barriers that stood on the way of my communication 1. The Channel I have chosen did not ensure the receipt of the communication by Receivers. 2. The communication lacked the Chronological context---- Thursday being a half-day work in this part of Middle East. 3.
