Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

It is important for virtual leaders to be able to read the contexts of silences and misunderstandings without normal cues to guide them. They need to be very aware of team flow to anticipate when action is needed and deadlines will not be met. Virtual team leaders should apply all parts of the team leadership model. They must be even more attentive and aware of all parts of the model due to the added challenges of virtual leadership.
