It's on the manager to put an end to shallow, robotic management theater and replace it with something meaningful or at least enjoyable. Don't do the round-robin project updates that are of no value to anyone - if you've set up the culture correctly, people will talk to each other when they need to. Use the time to do something that is of interest to everyone on the team, even if it's not directly related to the everyday work. If you can't think of anything, don't hold the meeting and think harder when you're planning for next week's meeting.
