Meeting objective

I encountered someone who doesn't read email. I expected this manager to understand the problem by forwarding him the email trail. And i expected his subordinate ABC (since ABC has concern and ABC wanted a discussion and ABC wanted to invite his manager along to the discussion) to have let the manager understand better of the situation before entering the meeting hall.

It turn out badly from my perspective:-
1. Spending most time to make the manager understand the problem. Humiliated by the manager because i was not specifically answered his question.
2. ABC is not saying anything at all about his concern and throw the ball at people who arrange for the meeting.

So I learnt: -
Make people understand the motives of meeting and bring up the problem. Make them understand: WHAT is the PROBLEM/OBJECTIVE, WHAT is PROPOSED SOLUTION. Call each and make them understand and do not expect they understand..

Now i expecting some rumours getting out due to his messiest meeting. and I am the one to be blamed. No one will always defend you if you do not stand up yourself.
