Meeting Culture

To get a sense of an organization’s culture, you only need to observe how its meetings are held. Meeting culture is as a microcosm of organizational culture: the values of the organization, behaviors of its leadership, ways of working, and typical decision-making processes are all on display during a meeting. If the organization’s culture is vertical, aspects of this vertical culture will leak into the meeting culture, which will result in fewer good ideas being produced. It may seem that vertical culture results in no conflicts, but this is because there is no real discussion or decision-making happening.
