LECTURE
SUMMARY

Covered in this lecture:

Virtual team challenges

A virtual team is not much different from a physical one,

but it presents some challenges:

- virtual communication can lead to misunderstandings

and lack of empathy
- virtual workers might make wrong assumptions about
certain tasks
- some workers get suspicious of people they can’t see, or
they’re afraid that others will think they’re not working

Focus on clear communication, telling them everything

they need to know

Establish communication best practices so your team

regularly engages with each other

Work on developing a virtual culture over the long term by

sharing your values

If possible, bring your team together in person and do

some fun activities to encourage them to connect
