How can leaders ensure that trust is maintained within decentralized teams, especially when team members are working remotely?

Leaders can ensure trust is maintained within decentralized teams by promoting open communication and transparency. This can be achieved through regular check-ins, team meetings, and providing opportunities for team members to share their thoughts and concerns. Additionally, leaders can foster trust by setting clear expectations, providing support and resources, and recognizing and rewarding team members for their contributions. Building relationships and creating a sense of community within the team can also help strengthen trust among remote team members.
