The Async Mindset

This requires managers to:

  1. Focus on the output rather than the number of hours worked.
  2. Trust their employees and give them space and freedom.
  3. Understand that 24/7 connectivity isn’t good for employees wellbeing.
  4. Get rid of unnecessary meetings.
  5. Encourage ‘Deep Work’ by disconnecting from communication tools periodically.
  6. Ensure communication is only within office hours.
