That’s much easier said if you work for a startup.
But if you work for either a large organization or a company that’s been around for decades, you influencing that kind of change (across departments you don’t own) is virtually impossible unless you’re the CEO. And even then, extremely difficult.

They tend to be run by steward CEOs and mercenary managers. I simply avoid them. https://rahulramchandani.com/writing-culture-at-amazon/ https://rahulramchandani.com/writing-culture-at-amazon/

It’s not like 20-years into Amazon, he then decide to implement that practice. Also, people misconstrue Amazon as being an async culture. That’s incorrect. Amazon is actually an anti-PowerPoint culture. So when meetings need to happen, you need to convey your info in long form writing since PPT isn’t allowed. That doesn’t mean the culture is async.
