Effective Teams Clusters
Effective teams have four clusters, and leaders have to successfully navigate all four at any one time. For the purpose of virtual team leadership (and the current crisis), we’re focused on the primary cluster: Direction. This is where a team’s vision binds people together.

Skills Cluster
Direction Cluster • Everyone identifies with the vision • Success criteria is shared • The team is organized around its success criteria • Everyone is willing to change instantly • The team can overcome obstacles
Leadership Focus Areas
Team vision illuminates the team’s purpose so that all members are completely clear about what they are doing, why they are doing it, and how their work relates to what they personally believe in. Members see themselves as part of a larger whole and they see where they fit in. Day-to- day activities have more meaning because it is clear how they contribute to the greater welfare of the team. Take time to revisit your team vision to give your team the energy boost it needs, especially with the change from physical work space into a virtual space. Vision is not a one-time activity. Your team vision needs to be revisited regularly to generate excitement and engagement.
