I haven't watched the video yet(not allowed to from work), but based on your sumamry I am wary of unilateral statements such as "all offices are bad" and "workers are always more productive when working from home." Not only are individuals highly variable, organizational structure, job goals, culture, etc. are all very different. I'm an individual who does much better with structure, and working from home makes it hard for me to be productive.
I will also say that in my management experience, leaving someone alone too much to get things done can be very bad and lead to lots of wasted time. Some interruption to make sure things are on track is necessary. I look forward to watching the video though.
