Selects for self starting people The article has the arrow causality backwards on this one, and it describes the biggest pitfall with remote work: you absolutely need to seek out and only hire people who will find things to do and work around problems on their own, rather than waiting for instruction from above. That describes a surprisingly small subset of employees. School trains you for the age of four to take instructions from the person in charge, act, then wait for more instructions. You can make it all the way to retirement on many career tracks without ever deviating from that pattern. It does not work at all in a remote organisation.
