Quiet Silent Psst Finger Face Mouth Closed

You need to have more meetings with less talking—and more silence.

Maybe you’ve experienced the awkward moment when nobody has anything to say. Relationships may not be fully established yet, or the room becomes silent because someone said something that was out of the box and nobody knows what to say about that. This isn’t the kind of silence that I’m suggesting you facilitate or encourage.

But you should encourage the kind of meetings where people are thinking together.
