The most important are 2 and 3: being proactively engaged and being willing to share information.
Why:
- Proactive engagement (regular check-ins, responsiveness, anticipating needs) shows commitment and reliability, which builds trust.
- Willingness to share information (transparent updates, open access to work, knowledge sharing) reduces uncertainty and signals cooperation.
Why not the others:
- Keeping communications to a minimum undermines clarity and connection in virtual teams.
- Working independently can be valuable for productivity, but over-emphasizing independence without coordination reduces visibility and trust.
