- Realize that nothing is cast in stone and things can change so be prepared to make the necessary adjustments. Your boss is not trying to sabotage you.
- Assess which meetings can be adjusted without too much disruption. Internal meetings can usually be changed more easily so start there.
- Depending on the importance of the impromptu meeting, it may need to be changed to another timeslot to accommodate his or her calendar. Usually when I point out the conflict to my boss, he is more than willing to make the change.
- If you have to reschedule, send an email apologizing, but advise that your boss's schedule has changed. People are busy and certainly understand schedule changes.

When your boss arranges meetings behind your back...
Does your boss ever organize a meeting behind your back? Mine does and it can cause problems with my scheduling. He will have a quick conversation with a staff member and set up a meeting, but not tell me anything about it. That makes it difficult when I am supposed to be organizing his calendar, but since I am responsible to organize his time and in spite of my frustration, I have to make it work. So what can you do when your boss is ruining your perfectly scheduled calendar?

*laughs* I had one boss who was absolutely forbidden to schedule his own appointments because he would foul up his calendar so badly. His response to anyone needing a meeting was to call his assistant.
I cultivate the art of disappearance and unreachability on such occasions :-)
