I feel that this is also a strong prerequisite for companies that do well at remote work and those who don't.

If you have a leader who is a clear and strong communicator via their writing, it turns out that clear and strong writing becomes a highly prized asset in the company, and people who are very good at communicating their thoughts in that way tend to do much better with remote work setups ... Leaders who constantly want to get everybody in a room, hold a meeting or talk though it (emphasis on constantly) ... spread that mindset through the company, and as a result have a culture that's much less accustomed to doing remote well ... just my anecdotal observation
