Not in my experience, at least in engineering. The teams I work in are filled with quiet people who either simply lack confidence, or worse even, have no personal opinion about the topic at all. They're frustrating to work with because someone has to drive meetings, bring up problems, and come up with solutions to these problems and if the whole team were filled with these "gorgeous quiet creatures", nothing would get done. The energy seems more like "I don't really care about this just tell me what to do" rather than "I am brilliantly analysing this situation as a wall flower ready to spring to life when it's most important". Even if they were the latter, how's a meeting supposed to function this way? Are meetings really theatrical exercises, or a game where the person who says the most clever thing in a few words as possible wins?
- djeiasbsbo 6y agoI agree. In this article, he generalizes the "quiet coworker". Really, there can be many reasons why someone stays quiet. It also doesn't mean that they're just not interested, it can but that's also a bit too general of an assumption. I think it would have been better if he had made this article about the people who talk too much and about non relevant topics.
