"There are advantages and difficulties posed by virtual teams. On the one hand, theres the benefit of being able to engage and enlist on your teams the most appropriate people, regardless of location. However, remote teams can also be difficult to form and maintain. Without effective collaborative systems, they may fail to deliver as promised or simply fail.

Leading a virtual team requires a strong and varied skills portfolio, but success of any kind of team relies on balancing three elements: results, processes and relationships. Results are the outputs of the team and are what the company measures. But its important to remember that a leaders attention to process and relationship concerns impact heavily on the team’s ultimate results."

"In today’s complex, global environment, it’s hard to imagine work without interdisciplinary, virtual teams. What is surprising is that half of those teams include members from other cultures, a further indication of how global business is becoming.

According to the 2016 Trends in Global Virtual Teams conducted by RW³ CultureWizard, 1,372 respondents from 80 countries said that 85% of corporate employees serve on such global virtual teams, and almost 20% spend over half of their day interacting with these teams.

According to Charlene Solomon, President of RW3 CultureWizard, “Almost everyone who works in global business is on a virtual team and 85% of them say it is critical to their productivity. These teams confront unique challenges because the lack of face-to-face contact magnifies and intensifies the impact of cultural differences between team members.”"
