You know how research into teamwork shows that highly effective teams don’t communicate a lot, because they have shared mental models of the work? (Think: elite SWAT teams, surgeons, etc, mostly operating in silence)

Perhaps, in part, by coming together, not to report on the work we're doing, but to do it. We gave up legacy meetings (report-outs, slide decks, endless posturing) for working meetings, with 10-15 min of silent working together. Even online, it's bliss.
