The Full Stack Leader

An excellent explanation for how Automattic practices clear communication even with 1,500 people spread across dozens of time zones.

Via “Tools & Thoughts for Leaders” by my teammate, Paolo Belcastro:

…two things inevitable: communication had to be text-first (that’s why the writing culture is so important to us) and asynchronous.

We don’t fight chaos—we embrace it.

Read Paolo’s post for all the details on how a text-first culture is the key to asynchronous communication. Including why we’ve added in some extra chaos back in, on purpose.
