When you let one loud voice take over meetings

In every team meeting, one person talks over everyone else, and I let it happen. Bit by bit the others have gone quiet — why bother speaking up when they'll just get steamrolled? I know the whole team is thinking smaller because of it, and I keep telling myself I'll say something next time.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

One person runs over every meeting and your silence lets it keep happening.
