I manage teams without a single call

A manager argues that asynchronous text-based communication is superior to calls for team management, claiming that calls disrupt focus and flow while text forces clearer thinking and preparation. He draws a parallel to pre-modern communication constraints that required thorough written documentation, contending that modern managers abuse the convenience of calls by shifting their preparation burden onto employees. While many distributed teams are shifting toward async approaches, founders often resist this model unless they've personally experienced its benefits.
