| Leadership Tip of the Month: Lead with Rhythm |
Virtual teams can get disconnected from the normal rhythms of work life. To prevent this, be disciplined in creating and enforcing cadence in virtual team work:
- Hold regular meetings (same day/time each week) -- and start/end on time.
- Establish and share meeting agendas in advance -- so everyone is up to speed.
- If team members work in different time zones, establish a regular rotation of meeting times to spread time burdens equitably.
