What is the best way to get everyone talking? Tell everyone to listen.
This article by PETER DAISYME really nails the topic of interrupting in meetings:
At the beginning of the meeting, it can be beneficial to let everyone know that it’s vital to give every single team member the opportunity to speak. This means that if someone is talking — no one should interrupt them. This also helps avoid issues like “Hepeating.”
While it’s okay to allow your participants to express their views after hearing others speak, interrupting may make people uncomfortable. This may even cause people who don’t like confrontation to shut down and not want to speak up in the future.
Making your participants feel heard and appreciated is a great benefit to them and the company.
