I want assistance as below:
Arguably the trickiest part of building and maintaining an effective virtual team is the task of balancing "togetherness" and "apartness". How can the team manage to work together when being physically apart? Some insight was given to this question in the background readings. Now read an additional piece, which expands on this theme,

After considering the material in this reading, as well as the background readings and any other research material you choose to use, please answer the following question about the team you are working with on the SLP:
How is your team addressing the balance between togetherness and apartness?
In answering this question, you will want to consider how the work is designed as well as how leadership is handled. You may have formally discussed these issues with your team - or not. Either way, some early indications of structure are of necessity going to emerge. In this essay (which should be from 3 to 5 pages), be sure that you cover
How you would describe the work design and leadership of your team.
An analysis of whether these structures and practices match the task requirements and characteristics of your team.
An assessment of the effectiveness of the structures/practices covered by the readings in this module for virtual teaming (In other words, do they work, or are the authors of the readings hopelessly out of touch with reality?)
