Their management style is much more based on inspiration than ordering. They empathize and understand what motivates their team members. Their teams are highly motivated and work together as a cohesive unit to hit their deadlines. This happens because they build an environment where their team members care about ewch other on a personal level, and go the extra kilometer because of it. Work from home goes smoothly for them too because of this.
It is the old school "do what I say because I am the boss" managers are the ones in trouble. The younger generations just do not respond to that style. And workplace changes like work from home broke a lot of their ability to force their will onto their team. Their teams do not work together and help each other out, they act like a group of individuals who only care about their assigned tasks and metrics.

This is all quite true, but it has been true for a long time. 20 years ago, the terrible bosses were saying "do what I say because I am the boss". The good ones inspired through other means.
Perhaps the newer generations will understand this better, but I suspect you will still have those "dinosaur" managers, even if Millenial or Gen Z.
