When I work as a project manager or team lead in a company, it takes me a lot of time at the beginning to convince the founders that I can work without constant communication and that the whole team can do the same. In some companies, I manage to convince the owners of this, in others I don't.
Many business founders are willing to spend entire days on meetings, even though everything can be discussed asynchronously via text, and even faster.
I know that most developers dislike meetings and conference calls, and as a team lead, I consider it my duty to allow them to work without meetings.
When I launch my startups, I always organize the work of the entire team at the very beginning so that it can function without a single conference call. As a founder, I have never needed to call anyone on the team to resolve any issues.
