Hi, could you help check the below conversations and tell me what "How can we keep talent like Yousuf engaged when we have such a big hang-up with gravitas?" means? I guess hang-up means problem or difficulty?


JAY: How? How can we get regulators involved at the right time and still keep our innovative edge?

ARCHIE: We could reach out to colleagues who’ve worked closely with the regulators.

JAY: Yousuf would be great for this role.

SAMI: Yes, but we’re looking for someone with gravitas.

CHRIS: How can we keep talent like Yousuf engaged when we have such a big hang-up with gravitas?

SAMI: Yes, but seriousness and weight are important.

It's from a piece of internal corporate training material. The fictional scenario is a few employees discussing a business issue that would reflect their corporate culture, specifically about building team conclusion in this instance.
 
What do you mean by "team conclusion"? Do you mean "team spirit"?

"Hang up" means "preoccupation/fixation".
