If you've ever led a team of people, you've likely experienced times when one person dominates the conversation. Because they're talking instead of listening, these workers usually don't fully understand the breadth or depth of the issues being discussed.
The wisdom that the others in the group can bring to the issue is often drowned out by incessant talk of others.
James 1:19 teaches, "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires."
If you're leading a group who needs to solve an important problem, one of your leadership responsibilities is to manage discussions. You need to gently silence the incessant talkers and encourage the quieter ones to add their wisdom to the conversation.
