> they aren't comfortable in the meeting setting you outlined I'm not sure I understand you here, in what ways could they be uncomfortable?

  Not all personality types thrive in the meeting environment you've outlined. The environment I'm envisioning based on what you've said is one where interruptions are the norm, you must be willing to talk over people to get speaking time, and you must be very socially assertive with your ideas. I know many more-introverted people who wouldn't be comfortable in that environment. I know several talented engineers that wouldn't contribute ideas in that sort of environment. And I, myself, would probably leave a company if that sort of meeting was in the company's culture.

    > Not all personality types thrive in the meeting environment you've outlined I agree. But if the employees want to thrive in a workplace that has such environments then they need to compete or leave for a more suitable environment. Complaining that it's because of X and Y with anecdotal evidence and proposing solutions that slow down idea flow doesn't help anyone.
