Virtual teams
 The team may be virtual but the people are very real, and
because they are in a virtual environment their emotions may
be much harder to read.

 In virtual teams problems may be less apparent than in

traditional teams.

 The leader must not ignore non-performers simply because

they are out of sight.

 The leader must avoid paying more attention to physically

closer members if she wants the team to have a perception of
parity.

 The leader must ‘walk the talk’ – and practice the Platinum
Rule!

 The leader of a virtual team must be familiar with the

technologies that facilitate the effective functioning of her
team.
