I’m curious how others deal with people (colleagues, stakeholders, managers) who talk a lot, but after 5–10 minutes you realize they’re not actually saying anything meaningful.

Have you found effective ways to redirect the conversation to something concrete or politely keep things efficient without shutting them down?
