Sync Async

Lynne Cazaly offers a clear and timely framework for the question most teams have been fumbling through since 2020: when should we meet, and when should we work apart? The sync-versus-async distinction sounds simple, but Cazaly applies it practically across meeting culture, focus time, and organizational habits in ways that give teams something actionable to work with immediately. Her facilitation background shows in the direct, practitioner-oriented writing. The honest caveats are real: at 204 pages from an independent publisher, the depth has limits, and there's no significant critical press to validate the approach beyond reader response. For team leaders and managers already drowning in meetings, the framework is practical enough to justify the read even without a deep critical record behind it. Clean, professional, and genuinely useful for the hybrid-work moment.
