Manage like an engineer
&gt; Asynchronous first<p>Umm... as an engineer I know the ins and outs of async.<p>The fact is that synchronous is so much more efficient when it is practical.<p>You can exchange mails with the other person for 3 weeks to get details of something nailed or get the meeting room with a whiteboard for 2 hours and get out with the complete solution without wasting time typing all those emails.<p>Asynchronous is for when you can&#x27;t get that other person&#x2F;persons in the room and expect to get the thing done in reasonable time.<p>There is a reason why you don&#x27;t do standups asynchronously.
