Question

The strategy of periodically rotating virtual team leaders accomplishes which of the following?
1. It prevents burnout among leaders.
2. It helps team members develop leadership skills.
3. It helps enliven the team.
4. It reduces regular communication.

Answer 1

Answers: 1, 2, and 3.

Brief rationale:
- 1 True — rotating leadership spreads responsibility and workload, lowering the risk of burnout for any one person.
- 2 True — taking turns as leader gives team members practice with leadership tasks and decision‑making.
- 3 True — new leaders bring different styles and ideas, which can reenergize the group.
- 4 False — rotating leaders does not reduce regular communication; if anything it requires clear communication for handoffs and may increase interaction.
