10 Tips to guide virtual teams: face to face or virtually communicate?
// By Ghislane Caulat
In the course of globalization, virtual work has become almost self-evident in everyday work. However, many managers still believe that virtual communication is the second best way to go. But is face-to-face communication really always the best way?
New leadership concepts are necessary
In order to achieve the best possible results in the virtual world of work, managers have to develop leadership concepts and rethink their existing management habits.

Participants should log 10 minutes before the start of the meeting so that technical problems can be solved in time.
5 Consider the different time zones: Appointments should be planned in such a way that
