The difficulty of having a team located in different cities or countries is to regulate the processes of communication and to maintain the leadership. Teleconference tools are fundamental in these cases, the sharing of screens during meetings helps to keep the attention high and increases the possibility of interaction of the participants.

These communication tools are useful because they allow these teams to remain in contact regardless of meetings and teleconferences, thus recreating, for example, some positive atmospere that can be created among workmates.
It is also important for the leader to have meetings with individual members of the team, which helps to strengthen the relationship with everyone and to resolve any conflicts within the team.
