If an employee cannot handle working from home then they can voluntarily return to office or be terminated for cause.

I’ve been leading a team remotely since March 2020 and have had no issues with my team that wasn’t cleared up after a quick conversation in our 1-1.

That's great for you. I have had good experiences long ago in other companies.

In my current company, team leads have little input on employee performance, and nobody has been fired or PIPed in my 100 person department in the last 10 years.

The primary thing that incentivized worker performance was social pressure and visibility from an in person environment.

You might say this is a management problem, and yes, I would agree. However, it still stands that this management problem is greatly exacerbated by hybrid and remote work.
