The intern who quietly fixed the broken printer got more respect that week than anyone at the meeting.

Fixing something that was annoying everyone is a shortcut to standing, because it is unambiguous. Nobody has to evaluate whether it was a good contribution; the thing that did not work now works. Meetings produce opinions about what should happen, and a repaired object produces relief.

Find the small broken thing everyone has learned to live with and fix it without asking permission. Do not mention that you did it. The people who notice will be the ones whose opinion you would have wanted anyway.
