Silence in meetings costs everyone. It silences voices, stalls accountability, and signals that thinking isn't happening in real time. But silence isn't inevitable. It's a leadership choice. In this episode, Jill Griffin breaks down what silence actually means, why AI-generated content is training us to consume instead of engage, and the specific moves leaders and peers can make to bring people into the conversation. Leadership is a lifestyle and an inside job. Here's how to show up.
- You're in a meeting and nobody's talking. What's actually happening?
- The silence in your meetings is costing you more than you realize.
- Most leaders have it backwards about what silence means in the room.
