With remote work becoming standard practice, team leaders need to rethink their communication strategies. Virtual teams tend to be culturally diverse and studies show they have the advantage of being more innovative and able to easily move quickly out of their comfort zone; but bringing them together to collaborate can be challenging.

These are key for virtual teams to succeed.
