I just want to point out that this may be true for IT or other remote positions (I don’t know, I’ve never worked in IT.) But in some other industries a quick 5-10 minute morning meeting can be essential. Especially in industries/jobs were everyone doesn’t have computer access. I know Lemmys all tech bros but I did want to point out that this approach works well in other work environments.
Yeah when I’ve managed more junior teams I didn’t have an official morning meeting but I would make a point to do 3 rounds a day. One in the morning, one before lunch, and one before leaving. People could obviously ask questions any time but you’d be shocked at the number of ‘well while you’re here’ questions you get that they never would have walked over with. Once they gained more experience half the time they wouldn’t even take headphones out, just give a thumbs up. Cost me maybe an hour or two a day but def made the team more efficient
