They may occasionally non-verbally communicate agreement with head nods and smiles, but rarely add anything else during the meeting. You’re not quite sure whether it’s because they are shy, have no opinion, or they’re daydreaming,
The “Imaginative Trailblazer”
This person has lot of ideas, many of which are not relevant to the discussion. They lead the team down a path, or many paths, that end you up further away from where you needed to be than before the meeting ever started.
The “I’ve Got Better Things to Do Multi-Tasker”
