Today, I was doing some research to get fresh ideas around “how to best encourage others to speak up during meetings” and ran across a 30 year old article (The Power of Talk: Who Gets Heard and Why) from Harvard Business Review that I feel still holds true today. It forced me to think about the WHYs behind how different groups of individuals communicate and question my own judgement about what engagement looks like.
Do yourself a favor and spend a few minutes to scan the article, then let me know what resonated most for YOU. If you haven’t followed Harvard Business Review on LinkedIn, they frequently publish amazingly relevant articles with immediately applicable ideas.
