Description
For the last decade, Slack has been the undisputed king of team communication. It killed the internal email, ushered in the era of real-time chat, and became the digital headquarters for millions. And for that, it deserves credit. Slack solved the problem of speed. But in doing so, it created a new, more insidious set of problems that are silently killing your team's productivity, knowledge, and accountability. We've become so accustomed to these issues that we see them as "the cost of doing business," but they are not. They are symptoms of a fundamentally broken, outdated model of work. Most teams think they have a communication tool. What they actually have is a factory for fragmented attention, a graveyard for institutional knowledge, and a black hole for accountability. It's time to stop accepting this as the norm.
