The Async Advantage
Fewer Meetings, Better Results
Most knowledge workers spend their days in meetings about the work instead of doing the work. The average professional now attends over 25 meetings per week, and research consistently shows that most of them accomplish nothing a well-written document could not have handled in ten minutes.
The Async Advantage is a practical playbook for teams and managers who are ready to break the cycle. Catherine Merritt draws on a decade of experience in enterprise software to lay out the systems, tools, and cultural shifts that make asynchronous work not just possible but superior. You will learn how to write async updates that eliminate status meetings, run decision-making processes that produce better outcomes than any conference room, and build a team culture where deep focus is the default, not the exception.
This is not a manifesto against collaboration. It is a blueprint for doing it better.
