I can agree that management of teams is different. How managers are developed is critical to their ability to manage remotely. Your successful remote personnel are likely to be self starters and complete task oriented projects. The metrics used need to be objective not subjective feel good based.
For the first few years after my wife became a senior administrator at our local hospital, she was involved in fighting numerous lawsuits over wrongful terminations. The hospital had been plagued by them for nearly a decade, brought primarily by a single lawyer who was happy to settle for a generous fraction of the claims. In today's environment, so sensitive over gender, race, and other protected class issues, I would think corporations would be eager to make employment decisions that were so obviously based on deliverables, since a remote employee's demographic position would be far less likely to even be known by a manager.

Image a world where performance and deliverable results was the only factor that determined employment decisions.

This would be a world of metric accomplishment not feelings or expectations.

Not sure it would be possible at this time. But pretty sure we would have more successful outcomes.
