I was dead wrong about weekly all-hands meetings
Thought they were a total waste of time. Like 45 minutes of people rambling about updates that could be an email. Then our COO at a 300-person firm in Austin started doing these tight 15-minute standups every Monday morning. Focused on one metric, one win, one blocker. People actually started talking to each other between departments. The silos broke down in like 2 months. Has anyone else seen a meeting format flip their team's dynamic like that?

I mean maybe the real trick is that short meetings force people to actually prepare instead of just showing up to vibe check the room.
