I’ve seen it time and again.

The loudest people in meetings often have the worst ideas.

They’re also often the least likely to follow through.

On the flip side, the quiet guy in the corner might be the one who can come up with something game-changing.

Problem is, he never gets a chance to speak or share his ideas.

To be truly innovative, you have to give every team member the chance to shine.

That means giving introverts, people who don’t brainstorm effectively in groups, people who are less senior, and those who have less dominant personalities a chance to speak and share.

Unfortunately, ideation meetings currently run on ego and inefficiency.

The typical model sucks

Everyone turns up at least five minutes late.
