I think it depends on the purpose of the team as to whether people should change.

I’m technology, if the purpose is to build things well then the people who like to emotionally nuance things in synchronous communication should do more async because that works better for building.

It really frustrates me when I analyze a problem, thoughtfully write up a solution and send it out. And then someone (or several) wants to meet to talk about it.

Then the meeting has nothing persistent than a feeling and the details get lost and a week later people forget the resolution. And want to meet again.

I guess if there’s no accretive development it doesn’t matter, like sales or restaurants or whatever. But there seems to be a better way to design and execute complex things.
