Abstract

The coronavirus crisis accentuated a trend that had been occurring for some years: the adoption of remote work. In recent months, many companies have adhered to this new model that uses information and communication technologies as a means to connect leaders and followers in virtual teams. The purpose of this article is to identify the challenges of leaders and the most appropriate leadership styles to maintain the good performance of a virtual team. The research was carried out using the method of integrative literature review and articles collected in the Scopus and Web of Science databases were analyzed. The study revealed that the main challenges facing virtual team leaders are related to: communication, cooperation, establishing work rules and monitoring team work. Furthermore, the literature does not indicate an ideal leadership style, but it does suggest that transformational leaders are more likely to succeed in virtual teams.
