Imo this is the biggest genuine issue with wfh for business.
Very anecdotal, but I was taking to someone working at a big accountancy firm and they commented on how covid and post-covid grads were visibly behind when it came to being able to bring them into client facing meetings.
However, this goes back to the point about taking an intelligent approach.
My last role was a product owner. Only the CPOs had what I would call real line management responsibility. And their reports were spread across a min of 2 counties and no junior staff. Users, stakeholders and tech teams spread across different countries, different offices within countries and different floors within offices.
So if you're a partner in a law firm, yes you need to be present with junior staff. In my case, it was close to irrelevant.

We have apprentices and graduates who's development as been stagnated due to WFH.
There is more to the discussion than " I can do my work at home" senior staff have performance objectives to develop other staff (it's also in the job descriptions)
