RECOGNIZE THE IMPACT OF DIFFERENCES

Virtual teams come with differences; this can include

cultural, work style and personality differences. This can

magnify obstacles to communication and productivity in a

remote team— especially when members think they’re
speaking the same language, but actually are not.

In this section, we will outline:

1. How to acknowledge and increase awareness of
differences in personality among team members

2. How to encourage diversity of ideas of all team

members

3. How to reduce divergent interpretations while working

on ambiguous tasks

Personality Tests

Personality tests can be a fun and insightful approach to use to

share an in-depth look of how life is viewed from the perspective

of your staff. This can help provide a level of understanding and
compassion towards team members to help improve work
productivity, teamwork and communication.
