Virtual teams (groups of individuals who work across time, space and organizational boundaries) can possibly thrive in this day and age of advance communication technology, but can also be quite a huge challenge for the one who leads it.

Creating a corporate culture remotely can be achieved by setting goals and strategies that can be implemented by the team later on. Keeping everyone aligned in processes, tools, and mindsets is the best step towards success.

In fact according to an Entrepreneur.com article, there are tested ways to successfully manage virtual teams, which in the long run will lead to group productivity. These are defining work systems, establishing multiple communication tools, scheduling regular meetings, having clear and detailed deliverables, making sure work hours overlap, creating a professional work environment, choosing (video) calls over chatting and emails, finding the right people to work with, establishing a meritocratic system, and using project management tools.
