How can leaders ensure that decentralized teams maintain a strong sense of collaboration and teamwork, despite working in physically separate locations?

Leaders can ensure decentralized teams maintain collaboration and teamwork by fostering open communication channels through regular video conferences, team meetings, and virtual collaboration tools. They can also encourage team members to actively engage with each other through shared project management platforms and social channels. Additionally, leaders should set clear goals and expectations for the team, promote trust and accountability among team members, and provide opportunities for team building activities and social interactions to strengthen relationships.
