Wow, where to start. To summarize you said I'm poorly socially adjusted and a bad leader. Solid conversation starter ;)

I agree that humans are social, but I'm not sure why you think we all need to get our primary social interactions at work. Even then, there is work social interaction literally all day long on Slack and other tools.

I think it is healthier for people to have their primary social interactions not tied to work. If a persons primary social ties are all work related it makes it harder if they are laid off or move to a better opportunity. I also find that looser work social interactions make it much easier to keep things completely professional. I shouldn't have to like to Joe in order to work with Joe and accomplish our goal.

I can't wait to get out of my house either, but it's certainly not to head back to an office after many years of being remote. I miss seeing friends, going to dinner with my wife, and rolling in Jiu-Jitsu.

As far as leadership goes, I don't subscribe to the dominate method of leading. If I have to stare someone down to get them to do something we have already gone off the rails somewhere along the way.
