> Many people don't handle the level of autonomy well, or don't stay motivated in isolation

As I've started being 'in charge' of more people this has been the hardest thing for me to adapt to. I've always operated with a high degree of autonomy. Now that I'm in the position of assigning work to other people it's been a shock to me how much handholding most people need to get something done.

That's because they are letting people work remote who shouldn't be working remote, either through ignorance or some attempt at "equality".
