Abstract
Virtual teams create challenges both for their leaders and members. What positively impacts such teams’ performance is their cohesiveness. Team cohesion is rooted both in activities of the leader and the members. Basing on literature studies, the article presents a few ways how to build cohesion of a virtual intercultural team. Specifically, it covers aspects such as team atmosphere, learning and information sharing, self-image and team identity, personalities and habits, practical tools, team development and planning process.
