How Writing is Reshaping the Workplace

The Case for Asynchronous Communication

Information and communication should be asynchronous to allow for long-term review and alignment.

Emphasize writing over talking.

Writing can enhance our knowledge and ideas. It helps us organize our thoughts and achieve a flow state.

Writing can improve our thought process by helping us visualize our thoughts. While some people are visual learners, everyone is a visual thinker.

Writing encourages collaboration through the use of tools for idea generation and clarity. It also lets you make tough decisions early while fostering a transparent company culture.

Understand the importance of aligning hiring processes. View them as a matching problem rather than a sales problem. 

Writing ensures that new hires are well-aligned and committed to the company's goals. When collaborating, focus on asynchronous and online communication to ensure equality. 

The practice also maintains a permanent record. Even if working in the same office, hold meetings online and use video/voice tools.

Writing allows us to spot gaps in our thinking and learn more. Include writing as part of the team's daily routine.

Writing is more about creating information than sharing it, as it enables us to teach by sharing it. 

Writing is how we learn, think, and grow; no other activity provides as much benefit as this.

Attention is a precious commodity in today's workforce, and writing captures it. Writers have a distinct advantage in that they can draw attention to their work without spending a single cent. 

Writing helps to make tough decisions early while fostering a transparent company culture.
