Are Meetings Our Collective Value: Multiple Intelligent Approach to Leading Meetings: Matter od Strategy, Not Only Operation?

Meetings are part of everyday life of managers. Unfortunately, often too little attention is dedicated to them, therefore the paper addresses the role of the meetings in avoiding the threats to cross-group collaboration of different departments. The paper emphasizes collaboration blind spot which happens when managers do not do the first step in collaboration implementation correctly which is identifying the potential threats each group involved in the potential collaboration might feel. People often feel potential collaboration as a threat to their identity and legitimacy of their existing group and therefore act defensively or even avoid collaboration. We position meetings as a key element of organizational culture which needs to be professionaly managed and address them as a strategical tool for achieving organizational success in an efficient way.
