Stop the collaboration overload.

Collaboration has exploded. Up 50%+ over the past decade—eating 85% of the average workweek.

That's not productivity. That's paralysis.

What we need:

• Small, independent, distributed teams
• Ruthless execution
• Less communication, not more

Returning to the office? It'll only make this worse.

Brooks' Law explains why:

n(n - 1) / 2 → the number of communication channels in a team.

If you have 50 people on one project: 50 x (50 - 1) / 2 = 1,225 channels.

More people ≠ more progress. It often means:

• Slower decisions
• More conflict
• Communication overhead
• Longer onboarding
• Bottlenecks everywhere

Before you add headcount, ask:

How will more people help? How will more people hurt?
