I think everyone would agree that building successful teams is much easier when the individuals work in the same building or area. The more dispersed geographically the more difficult the task is. This is for a number of reasons:-

2. There's a lack of team identity
3. A "them and us" attitude can develop
4. Communication is often slow
5. The chance for shared experiences is lacking
