I always thank our suppliers and business partners if they come in early or on time for the meeting. If they're late, I remind them that we always start on time in the office.

Once I was late for five minutes, I apologized to all of the attendees. No excuses. (I actually overran a previous meeting because of the many issues we faced, which needed direction and/or resolution)....
