An unfortunate reality in many teams is the fact that wise and experienced people often speak too little, while their less experienced and less expert counterparts speak too much. Getting those more reticent to make a vocal contribution can be a real challenge for leaders who desire for everyone to be heard. When everyone’s opinion is put on the table, teams make better decisions; therefore, conquering this challenge can have a profound impact on team effectiveness.
I like this approach much better than what I was doing. I would always meet with the reluctant person after the meeting to get his/her input. However, the meeting was over and I felt their input was 'too little, too late' and of course nobody at the meeting except me got to hear it. I wrote this one down and I'll try it next time. Thanks.
