According to Andrew Grove, former CEO of Intel, meetings is a powerful highly leveraged tool used by a manager to improve productivity.  Why is this so?   You have a single set up -  in one meeting you are able to get across so many people on one occasion and you can collaborate/cooperate because everybody who makes the decision could be there.  That is the time for candor and action:   no stalling, no second guessing.  You can observe the body language and the behavior of the the protagonist in full splendor.  Thus in  a meeting, you can communicate, ask for action, learn from the subordinate (this is important under utilized value of a meeting)

Meetings could be unproductive too, and ruin morale if:

1.  You are late;

2.  Take up too many things,

3.  Manage individual performance

4.  Share things that are in the email;

5.  No agenda.
