My boss is invited to this meeting and is a valuable participant. and The boss is not an essential member of the meeting, more of an observer. These two statements don't quite line up. Regardless, it's your boss's call, not yours. Try it out and see how it goes. You mentioned it's a temporary change, so even if it isn't ideal, it won't be like this for long.

| Mar 10, 2015 at 15:43 | comment | added | paparazzo | If it is a start of the day meeting that sets tasks and priorities for the day then I understand that moving it would later would be disruptive. But you did say this is the boss. Maybe you could offer to call the boss and brief him. | |
| Mar 10, 2015 at 15:36 | comment | added | JBCP | @JoeStrazzere - consistency is important because as a daily meeting, the timing sets the flow for the whole day. As is, it starts the morning off and gives the rest of the day to focus on work. Shifting it places it more in the middle and I feel it would be more disruptive. | |
