It really depends on the nature of meeting, the other attendees, and what role your partner is supposed to play in in the meeting.
For example, if you are presenting for the CEO of your company, simply mention that the other person has an "urgent issue to address" and should join the meeting soon. Then begin the meeting without delay and present all information. If it is a sales meeting, you can try to delay with small talk or another excuse, but do not delay more than 5 or 10 minutes. If it is a meeting with colleagues and your partner's presence is absolutely critical, then delay up to 10 minutes, but then cancel the meeting after 10 minutes by saying there must have been some emergency come up. If it is a meeting with colleagues and you are able continue without your partner, then simply wait 5 minutes and then begin.
There is no advantage to be gained from your partner being late.... Remember that both of you are a team and poor preparation, poor presentation or late arrivals reflect negatively on both partners.

Pls, keep tolerance at the first meeting and spend time to prepare more carefully for the discussion. Like a customer, your partner will be interested in you if you can show what he need; and the next meeting will be better.

I always get a pocket book (book & note & a pen). Now you could use ipad for reading or searching more things about yr partner/customer or other information related to the conversation. I'll had some new ideas from the waiting time like this.

To maintain the positive energy, find the positive in what is: may be the sky is night, may be there's more time to prepare for the meeting, may be there's someone interesting sitting near by...:)

For me there are no one doing anything without reason. To avoid that situation, I usually send sms or call my partner that I am coming in ... minutes or I came already on the place and waiting on which floor...
if they are show up late that will be a reason. I am not kind impatient person, so during that time I usually enjoying my private moment, looking at the people around, take a good sight or sometime I try to predict the reason why my partner show up late, what he/she going tell me on that late? Is there any meaning on the late? For sure, if you are doing what I am doing, time go by very fast and give you a smile on your face sometimes...
Say it patient but I usually call him or sms if he/she not showing in 30 minutes to make sure that I am not " leo cây "-

I am turning this ilate arrival into an advantage for me.
i dont want to stay a victim: prepare, read, wonder why and what excuse...I wont tell you publicly the little secret of how to, but I will tell you the principle:
1- while you wait in the lobby and at the time he/she arrives, you will have learnt valuable information about your partners character. It will help in your future business or personal relationship.
2- people doing something wrong -arrive late- usually feel guilty. They feel they need to repay you in a way. I use this emotion and feeling of guilt to get that little something to get something in return.for more, you know how to contact me personally,

You come to meeting ontime and your partner is late, that is a "not good" meeting already. To keep the positive energy and thinking, we can review again all the topics which we will discuss at meeting slowly and carefully. But after we finished everything, our partner is somewhere else, I think we should leave...:)
