What is a standing meeting?

A standing meeting is a regular meeting that takes place on a recurring basis, such as weekly or monthly, and is typically held standing up, rather than sitting down. This format is often used to encourage brevity and efficiency by keeping the meeting short and focused. Standing meetings are commonly used in workplace settings, but can also be used in other settings such as in education or community groups. They are ideal for discussing brief updates, progress reports, and quick problem-solving. Standing meetings can increase collaboration, accountability, and productivity, while reducing wasted time and unnecessary discussion. They typically involve a set agenda and can be facilitated by a team leader or manager.
