At one extreme we can have co-located teams, at the other 100% virtual teams. In between there is a multitude of nuances. But whatever the environment, a team is like an ecosystem where there are many species of rare animals, each with its own specificities, requiring different approaches. Who are they and do we engage (or not) them?
