It’s self-evident that good communication between managers and the people who report to them makes for a better culture at work. But “good communication” is a goal, not a strategy. That’s why you’ll find many companies using a simple, 30-year-old technique that takes a few minutes each week and can, if used correctly, keep managers in the loop right to the top of an organization, and ensure everyone has a chance to be heard.

As with all tools, the specifics of implementation are key. Writing the feedback shouldn’t take too long, and needs to be received with encouragement and good grace, Marshall says.

Based in San Diego, California, Lightpointe Communications, Inc. is a leading American company specializing in wireless optical communications. The company designs and manufactures short-haul, point-to-point, radio-based wireless communication systems based on the free-space optics (FSO) technology, with FE and GigE hybrid connectivity. Lightpointe’s high-quality FSO solutions enable point-to-point network connectivity within enterprises, helping businesses avoid expenditure on fiber cables and leased lines. These solutions are highly secure and allow for multiple gigabyte transmissions at a time. Hence, the wireless bridges manufactured by Lightpointe are designed to build high-speed and secure network connection between buildings.

The 5-15 was first thought up by Yvon Chouinard, the now 80-year-old pioneering founder of Patagonia, a company famed for its environmental ethics and its engagement with employees’ and managers’ well-being (notably, it has retained new mothers through its on-site childcare, for example.) Since the tool’s genesis in the mid-1980s, its proponents have made clear that it is designed to free up those at the heads of teams and companies, not load them with extra work. Chouinard famously spent months away from the office rock climbing and surfing, and used the 5-15s as a way of keeping a finger on the company’s pulse. Other executives have since taken it on, adapted it, and even invented their own versions.

Mostcom’s wide-ranging portfolio includes last-mile telecom solutions such as the fourth generation of atmospheric FSO-systems; high-speed laser communication systems between mobile objects such as airplanes and UAVs; space communication systems; and high-performance underwater laser communication systems.

The beauty of the process is its simplicity and swiftness, but also the format, which allows those who might find it hard to bring up an issue even in a one-on-one meeting to air it in a “safe space.” Marshall says she enjoys reading the achievements of her team and will try to solve challenges then and there, if she can. If not she includes them in her own “challenge” section.

The 5-15s follow a set format and are often divided into bullet points below a set of headings: highlights of the week; people met with; challenges; plans for next week; and plans for the next four weeks. Other possible categories include “lessons learned” or “areas for improvement” (Marshall notes that organizations can customize the process as they see fit).

The tool is called a “5-15” and works like this: Each week, everyone on a team spends 15 minutes writing feedback in a templated report sent to the team’s manager. The manager takes five minutes to read and respond to each report, and 15 minutes to collate their own feedback for their manager. This continues up the chain. Done right, it provides those at the very top of even the most complex company a weekly snapshot of what’s going well and badly from the point of view of all their employees.

“In the past I have had slightly frustrating responses from people I’ve sent messages up the chain to,” she says of using it at other companies. “As a manager, it’s important to think about how you respond to 5-15s. In my personal view it’s good to use it as a team-building tool for encouragement and positive feedback.”

Free-space optics communication (FSO) technology uses invisible light beams in free space –meaning the air, vacuum, or the outer space – to provide high-speed wireless connectivity for telecommunications and computer networking.  Also called free-space photonics (FSP) or optical wireless transmission, the technology enables optical communications by transmission of modulated infrared light beams through the atmosphere, unlike fiber-optic communication that transmits data through an optical fiber. FSO works on the same principle as wireless keyboards or infrared television remote controls, and the technology can also be used for space communications. The invisible light beams are transmitted from one place to another using low-power laser light and are collected by highly sensitive photon detector receivers, which eventually transmit the digital data (video images, Internet messages, voice data, computer files, or radio signals) to the consumer. Free-space optics communication technology is a low-latency technology and its light speed through the air is up to 40% higher than that through fiber optics. Some technical advantages associated with FSO are easy deployment, license-free long-range operation, protocol transparency, high bit rates, low bit error rate, immunity to electromagnetic interference, and enhanced security.
