The power of virtual teams
summary
Lists seven superpowers of virtual teams: three-layered resilience (economic, change, emotional), higher trust entry threshold, stronger result focus, easier access to neurodivergent talent, a “place to hide” that aids recovery, and the claim that membership becomes voluntary. Offers concrete practices: respecting preferences, explicit time‑zone rules, ongoing leader engagement and regular check‑ins, and designing a communication strategy. Useful if wanting actionable team rules and hiring/people tactics rather than theory.
