How do you encourage quiet people to participate in meetings without putting them on the spot? I have one colleague in particular who says very little, but whenever she is called upon, she has great insights! I wish she would talk more, but again, I don’t want to make her uncomfortable. Any advice?

Something you might try is to encourage her before and after meetings. For instance, the day before a meeting you could mention something that will come up and suggest you'd like to hear het thoughts on it. And, after a meeting in which she's spoken up you might tell her you appreciated her contribution. In a meeting itself, you might set her up by, for example, saying something like "I think you've worked on something like this, what are your thoughts?" That isn't putting her on the spot so much as setting her up as an authoritative voice.
