Your senior management team has been around a long time. They know exactly how to do what they do. They don’t meet with each other very much, but you figure that is because they don’t need to. After all, why would manufacturing need to meet with engineering except if there is a problem?
Your staff meetings are infrequent. Once a month tops. You don’t see the need to get them together more often, because who wants to meet to death? When you see an issue in a given area, you meet with that person independently. Why bother all your managers with a problem in one area?
When you do have staff meetings, your managers are preoccupied with their own areas. In fact, if you happen to be discussing a marketing issue, the other managers will be checking email or may even leave the room. That bothers you a little bit, but on the other hand it shows the concern and dedication they have for their own areas. You wonder if that is to a fault.
