Being a member of a meeting provides the employee with an avenue to give opinions， to make comments in a suitable forum.In western countries， it should be remembered that the individual is a resource and a group of people in a meeting can give valuable advice which may be acted upon. The group and therefore each individual should air their views. Most often， seeing something in a different light receives praise.
