The virtual team needs to work more closely together.

Establishing clear and effective communication is critical to the success of any team. [Most recent research supports this]

What are the limiting factors for effective communication?

  • The challenge of having to wear ‘two hats’ [leadership team and dept head] this can cause issues i.e. sharing best practice.
  • Team members working remotely. [The virtual team]
  • Lack of day to day contact perhaps physical proximity can undermine trust.

Any of these unresolved can be the difference between a successful team and a dysfunctional team.
