In today’s world where companies work together to achieve a goal no matter where they are, virtual teams are playing a key work because these people join efforts through communication technology to break barriers of time and space and for companies to be faster and much more competitive. The existence of this group of individuals allows organizations to have the best people regardless of location. Despite of what many people think about the infeasibility of virtual teams, the truth is that people working with virtual teams shows more commitment to the task assigned which means a better performance. Also the way they communicate eliminates and minimizes the cultural differences that in face-to-face communication it would be “a pain in the neck”.
BUILDING A SUCCESSFUL VIRTUAL TEAM
- It is important for the team to have an initial face-to-face contact that would make them to recognize each other, and to create an idea about the other person.
- In order to resolve conflicts and be clear about a task or goal, having periodic face-to-face meetings would prevent many problems and inconsistencies.
- Establish their own norms and protocols for behavior, this is to eliminate the complications that culture differences could bring in a group
- Use visual in communication
I also think face to face communication is needed to a better performance, it is important team members know who they are working with
