Then you need to be more active in managing the meeting and ask the introverts to speak - I am assuming you are in charge of the meeting here


"hey you, the quiet one in the corner! Stop being so shy and tell this big loud arrogant idiot why he's wrong to his face!"

I exaggerate, but introvert friends tell me this is what they're hearing when they're encouraged to speak up in group meetings.


well you normally start doing this in less pressured environments.

I have when in charge of a high pressure shareholder meeting told the company founder to stop talking and took another speaker - after the meeting the founder said I was right to do so
