At the core of High Performance Remote Team is virtual distance: the slow process of emotional, psychological detachment on top of overreliance on technology to facilitate connections among individuals. The result is a transformation of interactions between people. Increasing virtual distance adversely influences team creativity, trust, job happiness and project performance. Leaders can assist their teams to work in a more efficient way by creating a mood in which employees are more interested in the success of the company, as well as in other employees.
