If you multitask, so will your team

Or, in a meeting where one participant does all the talking... That's a lecture and not a meeting. The content can be documented centrally and emailed to everyone.

Sometimes that one participant crowds out the voices of others so no one bothers to speak up... The leader of the meeting needs to be confident enough to interrupt the person taking more than their fair share of time and then try to get participation from others in the group. Being wholly ready to cut off the aggressive personality that wants to constantly talk or repeat the same thing(s) over and over.

Sometimes a lecture is good though. If you want to teach someone a new concept, a lecture is probably better than just a document.

So long as that's the meeting's agenda.
