Your statement always makes me to think over. This time it is difficult for me extract the reasons why we should immediately start the meetings with late comers. Is it because there must be justifiable reasons for them to be late and they might be due to my fault not to communicate well with them prior to meeting?

Thanks for asking! I always start meetings no later than 3 minutes after the scheduled start time. If we are missing required attendees, and they haven't communicated they will be late, I'll actively message them. If no response and no show by 5 minutes after the scheduled time, I reschedule the meeting. I do this to be respectful of everyone else's time, and to train people to either inform me they will be late, or show up on time. Meetings generally start late, because a previous meeting ended late. I also end meetings on time, regardless of what is left undone.
I got what I did misunderstand.
