How can leaders ensure that decentralized teams maintain a strong sense of unity and connection, even when team members are physically dispersed?

Leaders can ensure decentralized teams maintain unity and connection by fostering open communication channels through regular virtual meetings and updates. Encouraging team members to share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns can help maintain a sense of belonging and collaboration. Providing opportunities for team building activities, both virtually and in person when possible, can also strengthen relationships and trust among team members. Setting clear goals, roles, and expectations for each team member can help maintain focus and alignment within the team.
