It always feels like whoever talks louder in the meeting wins the conversation, at least in most my department meetings. Is this true for your department or company as well?

I've seen things like that happen. But in my current position it's not volume that wins, it tends to be the person who can sling around the most buzzwords. People can be loud and that's impressive. But can they circle back and double down and leverage potentialities and make it scale? That's the stuff that wins. Rather, that's the stuff that effectuates so much win.

Thanks for sharing!

Yeah definitely. We have a few very big personalities on our team that really overpower other people. Sometimes I'm not sure how to navigate it as a manager because I don't want to force shier people to talk, but I also don't want the extroverts to have too much power. It's a hard thing to balance when you've got such a range of personalities

Someone who is the most persistent always wins.

Yep that is definitely true here. Management get into screaming matches in our weekly meetings and it honestly drives me nuts. There is absolutely no reason to be yelling like that and especially before I have had my coffee in the morning.
