A virtual team is totally different from a meeting somewhere with every team member around you. A virtual team must consist of two or more people working together towards a common goal. Most of the time people in the group are responsible for a certain expertise. .
Building trust
It is difficult to get a team together, especially when one of them could be half a world away. I think setting up times throughout the year for the team to meet and do activities together can establish trust and get to know one another better.
Acceptance of conflict and free to open discussions of ideas
I think this goes into that ol' saying "Treat others as you would wish to be treated".
Everyone argues and demonstrates some form of frustration. It is good to control
yourself and encourage others to do the same. If you disagree fine, don't let you're your
emotions get the best of your intelligence.
