Motivation behind scrum meetings

Scrum meeting is just not "Standing up" ,"meet" and ask 3 questions. There is certain motivation behind this meet. While reading an article I found one of the motivation to be:

When one team member shares an obstacle in the Scrum meeting, the entire team’s resources come together to bear on that problem. Because the team is working together toward a shared goal, every team member must cooperate to reach that goal. The entire team immediately owns any one individual’s problems. [Rising and Janoff, 2000]

This is also in accordance with the lean thinking, Toyota way !!
