How to create genuine interdisciplinary collaboration in academic teams

My research team includes people from different academic disciplines and we're supposed to be doing interdisciplinary work, but we keep defaulting to whoever speaks most confidently rather than actually integrating our different expertise. I feel like we're missing the whole point of collaboration but I don't know how to change the dynamic without seeming like I'm criticizing my colleagues.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

True interdisciplinary work requires teams to value different forms of expertise equally rather than defaulting to dominant academic hierarchies.
