A virtual team is a group whose members never or rarely meet face to face.They interact by email,computer network,telephone,fax,and videoconferences,and through shareware.They enable managers to bring geographically dispersed knowledge and expertise together.One disadvantage is that it is harder to build a cohesive team; another is that members tend to be less satisfied.Protocols for conduction meetings include: beginning and ending on time; scheduling meetings to accommodate people in different time zones; taking into consideration holidays of the different cultures; respecting and listening to what other people are saying on the call and not holding sidebar conversations; and giving one week's notice to the team if a member is unable to attend.Protocols for communication include: checking emails twice a day; call into the office once a day; handling conflict directly with the person concerned and working to resolve it clearly and immediately; giving feedback in a timely manner,respecting cultural sensitivities and valuing confidentiality.
