In addition to the excellent resources you’ve received, I think the 
key will be to redefine roles of people from random tasks that are 
handed out by a boss across the room when he sees someone drawing 
smileys … to actual work with deliverables that you can measure 
whether someone is in office or out.

One way to convince bosses of this is to get permission to run your 
teams in this method. If people reporting to you are just as productive 
then you can make the case for your own position.

A longtime classmate recorded a youtube video of some tips for working 
at home. Nishal covered some of these as did Trouble.
