Most teams don't have a talent problem. They have a clarity problem. Two lines from this talk stuck with me: “If a decision isn't written down, it wasn't made.” “Async first doesn't mean never talk. It means talk on purpose.” Which meeting could you replace with a written update this week?

Here are the key points: • Teams move faster when decisions are written down. • Keep one shared doc per project instead of long chat threads. • Use short video updates for context, not for decisions. • Review open questions at the start of every weekly meeting. • Archive finished decisions so new teammates can catch up.
