The team I'm part of operates like this, and it's worked wonderfully in terms of efficiency and also handling cultural differences | |

Your culture doesn't have this so much perhaps but it is their culture_ that you want to understand better of course. so go the 1:1 route as recommended in this answer. | |

Have 1:1's with all. In my experience people start opening up at month 1-3 once they revealed a few "secrets" (fears etc) and seen you not share them with others and often shared secrets with them | |

| Sep 24, 2020 at 17:53 | comment | added | teego1967 | @SouravGhosh, OP indicated it's only 2 team members that have this problem. A 1-on-1 pre-meeting discussion or follow-up with these individuals is totally reasonable and will eventually transition them to opening up in group meetings. | |
