If you're, as a manager, making that decision without ever talking to the staff member, you're not giving them the chance to step up. It's tough sometimes to say, we should go in together so you can sort of observe and see and hear. I think shadowing is a great recommendation, but i would never have other people in the meeting who'd be likewise that person here. This is an opportunity for them to start to understand what happens in these meetings,. So eventually they can go in my place, i feel like other people would support.
