Building an Async Culture in a Remote Team
In this podcast episode, Alex Lieberman discusses with Sam Corco the importance of building an asynchronous culture in remote teams. They highlight that trying to replicate synchronous working styles in a remote setting is soul-crushing and unproductive. Instead, they emphasize the value of asynchronous communication, which allows for information to be shared across the organization without the need for constant meetings. They discuss the benefits of documentation, recorded meetings, and tools like Loom for effective asynchronous communication. They also explore the situations where synchronous communication, such as project kickoffs and high-velocity projects, can be valuable.
