If you observe your workplace, you normally notice the older and usually the most experienced setting back quietly and gathering information during meetings. They will usually ask questions and not provide any solutions until they feel confident that they have all the required input. They will sometimes provide a quick "workaround" to meet deadlines but give stark warnings as its not a long term solution to anything. Heed those warnings.
At the same time, you will also notice those fresh out of college claiming to know it all and are very outspoken about it. There are also those who have been around a while in the same position that always "know best". Avoid both of these types at all costs if you want to get things done.
