    I don’t see it that way. To me it seems like existing managers do not know how to manage remote teams, and you can’t tell them “you should fire all the managers and hire new ones that do” because they will never fire themselves.

      That’s what they said - managers feel like remote teams are harder to manage. Doesn’t matter if that’s actually true.

        No. They don’t feel that. They KNOW that THEY can’t manage them. Just like if the manager does not speak German they wouldn’t hire someone that only speaks that language

          That implies they are aware that remote teams can be managed more efficiently, but that they lack the ability. I don’t think that’s true, most managers don’t seem to have that self-awareness.
