> weekly 30 minute standing meeting.

I've been doing 30 minute standing meetings pretty much every day since the XP folks coined the term "stand up", which was about 20 years ago. Every single one has consisted of the boss talking for 28 minutes (sometimes back and forth with one team member) while everybody else stands around, followed by, "ok, does anybody else have anything?" If anybody says yes, it's "we're almost out of time for this meeting, so let's take it offline".

20 years, five different employers, exact same experience every time, every day. Human psychology doesn't fit this structure the way you want it to.
