When Working Asynchronously Is Just Not Engaging Enough with Emmet Gibney
Episode description
In this episode, Lech Guzowski speaks with Emmet Gibney, Head of Product at Rewardful, about the challenges and benefits of moving from asynchronous to synchronous work. They discuss the importance of finding the right balance between the two and the difficulties that can arise when making a change in the way a team works. Emmet shares his experiences with implementing synchronous work at Rewardful, including the benefits it has brought to the team and the challenges they have faced along the way.
Key Takeaways:
- Finding the right balance between asynchronous and synchronous work is essential for success.
- Resistance to change can be an indicator of deeper cultural or organisational problems.
- Creating intentional ways of working, such as a team charter, can help ensure success when making changes to the way a team operates.
- When making changes, it's important to communicate the benefits to the team and make sure they don't feel like anything is being taken away from them.
- As a team grows, it's important to reevaluate the ways of working to ensure they are still effective.
