Adam is the moderator of a group discussion, and one speaker in his group has been talking for a very long time. He can tell that the others in the group are getting impatient. The best approach Adam can take as a moderator is "He should let the speaker finish, and then remind the group of the ground rules."

A good and experienced moderator knows that constantly, it can find people that like to keep the microphone. They like to talk and being a protagonist. Interruption and confrontation are not smart choices because it can lead to other problems. So the moderator has to let the speaker finish, and then remind the group of the ground rules. If the individual does not understand and does it again, then the moderator can use another technique to solve the issue.
