When I work as a project manager or team lead in a company, it takes me a lot of time at the beginning to convince the founders that I can work without constant communication and that the whole team can do the same. In some companies, I manage to convince the owners of this, in others I don't.

Many business founders are willing to spend entire days on meetings, even though everything can be discussed asynchronously via text, and even faster.

I know that most developers dislike meetings and conference calls, and as a team lead, I consider it my duty to allow them to work without meetings.

When I launch my startups, I always organize the work of the entire team at the very beginning so that it can function without a single conference call. As a founder, I have never needed to call anyone on the team to resolve any issues.

I work in east Asia for a western startup. My work schedule is shifted a few hours earlier, so I end up waking up at 5 and have meetings starting at 6. I work in silence the rest of the day and we have no-meetings days once a week.

I love it.

I am not working for them, but I heard about https://hubstaff.com that they have almost no meetings.

Maybe someone who is working for them can confirm or add more details about it.
