Page "Virtual management" Paragraph 15

Virtual team leaders need to become virtually “ present ” in order to closely monitor team members and notice any changes that might affect their ability to undertake their tasks.

Due to the distributed nature of virtual teams, team members have less awareness of the wider situation of the team or dynamics of the overall team environment.

Consequently, as situations change in a virtual team environment, such as adjustments to task requirements, modification of milestones, or changes to the goals of the team, it is important that leaders monitor followers to ensure they are aware of these changes and make amendments as required.
