3 out of 10 Dutch people display introverted behavior in large groups. In mixed company, men have 75% of the speaking time, women 25%. The chance that women will be interrupted is 50%. Men and women interrupt women 30% more than they interrupt men. And when women speak, they are usually not taken seriously. Men talk through women's speaking time much more often than vice versa.

30% of all Dutch people display introverted behavior in large groups. So, you don't hear or hardly hear them in meetings with 9+ participants. Conscious and unconscious group pressure for the sake of unanimity or desired political correctness undermines candid speaking.

Do we dare to say what we think? And is it okay to ask for attention when you feel that something is really wrong? It is difficult to give everyone the right attention during a meeting. Psychological (and social) safety is the foundation for feeling good in the group, which allows you to take interpersonal risks. We are at our best in a safe, trusted environment. The greater the insecurity, the weaker the decisions, and their implementation.
